How To Make the Frozen Aperol Spritz

The Frozen Aperol Spritz is super easy to make: Seriously, just add together your five ingredients and get to sipping! There’s a bit of prep work with freezing the citrus juices, but I promise you, it’s well worth it when you taste the outcome.

Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, add the orange juice and grapefruit juice to an ice cube tray and freeze for 4-5 hours or until frozen solid. You can mix the ice cube tray with half OJ ice cubes and half grapefruit ice cubes or you can combine the juice before and then add the orange juice/grapefruit juice mixture to your designated ice trays. Either way, allow enough time for them to fully freeze.

Some notes to take into consideration: alcohol tends to melt ice quickly, so make sure to blend these babies up and enjoy them immediately (and responsibly). Also, if you’re with a group of people, this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to serve everyone! Yay!
