Aperol Spritz slushies: The heatwave is still going strong and here’s how we’re celebrating

Trine Jensen-Burke

It’s the IT drink of the summer.

And we have just come across a way to make our favourite aperitivo even better – especially in this scorching heat.

Say hello to the rosé-aperol slushie – AKA the adult frozen treat we are planning on sipping on for the rest of this heatwave.

And when you try it – you’ll be knocking this back too, trust us.

Rosé-Aperol Slushies

Ingredients
  • 1 bottle of rosè wine
  • 120 ml / 4 oz. Aperol
  • 90 ml / 3 oz. freshly pressed and strained orange juice
  • 1-2 orange slices for garnish per glass
Instructions
  1. Mix the bottle of rosé wine with the Aperol and the orange juice and pour into a plastic container. I like to split this mixture over two or three containers so I can make just two cocktails if I want to.
  2. Freeze for at least 8 hours, but this can be also made days ahead. Although it will freeze well it won’t ever be solid and easy to blend.
  3. Transfer the frozen mix into your blender and process on high speed until completely crushed.
  4. Pour into glasses and serve immediately garnished with orange slices.

Is it cocktail hour yet?
