If I have to estimate it that way, I think the Aperol spritz was the most popular drink on the terraces last summer. In any case, I've seen him everywhere. And although it is a very nice summer drink, you can continue to drink it in the autumn! We make a nice autumn version with this cinnamon syrup Aperol ginger spritz. We serve it with ginger beer and homemade cinnamon syrup. To stay in the autumn atmosphere, we also use mandarin.
Cinnamon syrup Aperol ginger spritz
The classic Aperol has a somewhat bitter taste. In this version we use sweet syrup and ginger beer, so it will really have a different taste than you are used to, but certainly not worse! If you are not a fan of ginger beer, serve it with prosecco.
The syrup you make will keep for a long time. You can easily store it in the fridge in your glass bottle with a screw cap. This will keep the syrup fresh and you can easily use it in other drinks. Think of adding a dash of syrup to sparkling water for a refreshing drink or to cocktails for a unique twist. If you want to give it some more flavor, you can also add a star anise while making your syrup.
This spice not only adds a delicious aroma, but also provides an extra layer of complexity in the taste that goes perfectly with various ingredients. This way you not only create a versatile syrup, but also a special taste experience.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the cocktail below. Cheers!
