A Recipe to Stand Out
- The Blackberry Aperol Spritz offers a unique twist that will make your Halloween party memorable. The classic Aperol Spritz is renowned for its balance of sweet and bitter. The addition of blackberry syrup brings a rich depth that perfectly complements the festive season.
- You can also ensure that your drink is available all year round. Using frozen blackberries for the syrup you can prepare ingredients ahead of time. One less thing to worry about on the day of the party!
- The Blackberry Aperol Spritz offers a light, refreshing option that you can easily scale up. You can make the syrup up to 1 week in advance, and prepare the drink in batches. So you’ll always have enough to go around.
- Additionally, the blackberry syrup enhances the drink’s natural flavor, which means it remains tasty even as it slightly warms up as the party goes on.
- This version of Aperol is slightly sweeter than the original recipe. Keep that in mind and adjust the amount of syrup to suit your taste and the taste of your guests.
- In case you’d like to make an alcohol-free option, mixing the syrup with a bitter tonic like Schweppes would balance the sweetness resulting in an awesome mocktail.
- For an extra eerie vibe serve it with skull-shaped ice and enjoy more time celebrating. You can prepare skull-shaped ice in advance using 3D Skull Ice Molds.
Blackberry Aperol Spritz Recipe
Ingredients
Blackberry Simple Syrup (prep ahead!)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups blackberries
For the Cocktail
- 3 parts prosecco
- 2 parts aperol
- 1 part blackberry syrup
- 1 part club soda
- ice cubes for servings
- fresh blackberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberry Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and blackberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens. Strain to remove solids and store the syrup in a jar. Wait until cool and put it to the fridge.
- Prepare the Ice: You'll need plenty of ice cubes for your cocktails, so make sure you have enough for the party. You can buy ready ice cubes or make ice yourself using themed ice molds. I highly recommend purchasing 3D Skull Ice Molds or similar Halloween ice molds and making themed ice for your Halloween party!
- Make the Cocktail: In a glass, on top of ice cubes add Aperol, blackberry simple syrup, Prosecco, and club soda and stir gently.
- If you use skull-shaped ice, you can change the order, adding blackberry syrup last. Pour it over the skull-shaped ice cubes as a part of the spooky cocktaik presentation to impress your guests.
- Garnish: Top with fresh blackberries for that extra Halloween flair!
