You’ve sipped kombucha cocktails, you’ve likely enjoyed kombucha mocktails, but have you ever tried a Festive Aperol Spritz with a kombucha twist? This holiday season, we’ve created a festive alternative to the classic Aperol spritz.
Using Liquid Remedy’s Orange Splash Kombucha, this drink combines all the vibrant, bittersweet notes you love — whether you prefer it with or without the booze. Ready to toast to a healthy, celebratory Christmas? Let’s get mixing!
What Does an Aperol Spritz Taste Like?
A traditional Aperol spritz has a distinctive citrusy, herbal bitterness that makes it stand out from other cocktails. It’s refreshing and vibrant, with a perfect balance of sweet and bitter notes that are often likened to the flavors found in a Negroni or Campari—but with a lighter, more approachable twist. The bright, zesty orange flavor is the star, but it’s paired with an underlying herbal bitterness, making it a sophisticated, yet easy-to-sip drink.
Aperol Spritz for the Holidays
Now, about that Aperol spritz… typically a summer sip, right? Well, we’re turning that notion on its head because guess what? With the right twist (like kombucha, duh), the Aperol spritz is now the perfect drink to make your Christmas cocktails sparkle! Who says a little bittersweet, bubbly refreshment can’t be wintery and festive? You deserve it.
To make it feel extra holiday-ready, we add cranberry juice for that deep, rich color and seasonal flair. Rosemary sprigs bring a pine-like vibe that immediately says “winter wonderland,” while cranberries or pomegranate kernels add a pop of vibrant color.
Forget the sugar bombs—Liquid Remedy’s kombucha is your new holiday BFF, bringing the fizz without the guilt. With its naturally fermented ingredients, kombucha is a game-changer zero sugar drink. It’s perfect for anyone looking to cut back on sugary holiday drinks without sacrificing the festive vibes.
