Give this gin-tastic Cucumber & Watermelon Aperol Spritz a go!
This amazing twist on the classic Aperol Spritz is a must-try! It’s quick to make at home and perfect for sharing with your gin pals on long summer evenings.
It’s red, fruity and fabulous - what more could you ask for?
Unlike a traditional Aperol Spritz, which gets its bubbles from a mix of prosecco and soda water, this one has bubbles provided by an utterly divine mixer: Double Dutch Cucumber & Watermelon.
This mixer is a fantastic way to get the party started with a scrumptious mix of refreshing and fragrant watermelon and cucumber flavours, both expertly balanced. It provides a wonderful contrast to the bitter citrus tones of the Aperol.
The gin in this recipe then adds a rich, complex backdrop to the sipping experience that is utterly delicious, while the cranberry juice adds a brilliant tartness that really brings the cocktail to life.
A touch of fresh lime juice for summer brightness and a splash of Simple Syrup to round everything out and you have a stunning summer sipper. Give it a go…
