Hot Aperol
As a true fan of the classic Aperol Spritz, I decided to create a warming and cozy version of this cocktail - the Hot Aperol. After some experimentation and slight adjustments, I finally managed to find the perfect balance between the bitter-sweet taste of Aperol and the warm, pleasant feeling of hot drinks. This cocktail, which is perfect for cooler evenings, is sure to delight any Aperol lover.
Ingredients
- 120 ml Aperol
- 200 ml freshly squeezed orange juice
- 200 ml apple juice
- 2 Slices Fresh oranges
- 4 Cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 Tablespoon honey or agave syrup
- Optional: orange zest and cinnamon powder to garnish

Directions
To prepare Hot Aperol, first pour the orange juice and apple juice into a small saucepan and heat, but do not bring to the boil. I recommend heating the juice slowly on a medium heat to preserve all the flavors.
Now add the orange slices, cloves and cinnamon stick. I have found that adding whole spices keep the flavor intense and make the drink visually attractive.
Mix in the Aperol and honey or agave syrup and leave to infuse for a further 5 minutes. Make sure that the mixture does not boil, as this will change the taste of the Aperol.
After 5 minutes, pour the mixed drinks through a strainer into prepared heatproof jars to remove the spices. I have learned that using a fine mesh strainer works best and helps to remove even the smallest pieces of spice.
Serve the Hot Aperol immediately, garnished with orange zest and a pinch of cinnamon powder. Adding garnishes is optional, but I have found that they add extra flavor and make the drink look even more appealing.
