Apple Cider Spritz

I love an Aperol Spritz, but it feels like such a summer drink and tbh, it's loaded with sugar.

It's really hard to completely avoid sugars in a mixed cocktail but, this one does a pretty good job and is worth the splurge in my opinion.

My Apple Cider Spritz  is a lower sugar - lower calorie version of a classic aperol spritz with a touch of holiday cheer and I know you're gonna love it!

Try making these for a festive fall girls night or even Thanksgiving! They never disappoint. 

And if you're looking for a mocktail, just swap the aperol for more cider and the Prosecco for more mineral water.

Pssstt...garnish really makes this drink so don't for get your star anise and sprinkle of cinnamon!
