Tastes Like Sangria

Tastes like sangria. That’s what I said to Jeff when I first made this. I bought some Aperol a while back, maybe it was for a David Leibovitz cocktail, 🤔 not sure, but I’ve been making this refreshing cocktail that tastes like sangria! I really like Aperol, it’s similar to Campari but not as bitter. It’s super simple and you can easily adjust with a splash of this or that, I have some suggestions in the recipe below. It’s nice when you don’t want to make a big batch of Sangria and just want a glass or two. We’re in for some more hot weather this week and it’s a perfect way to end a 105°F day. 

I’ve been busy making and selling granola the past couple months. I’ll be introducing a new hazelnut flavor later this week! I partnered with a local hazelnut grower Baird Family Orchard and wow! It tastes so good! I’m working on a website for the granola but for now all updates will be here.

Hope you’re staying cool this summer, this cocktail should help. Enjoy.

Tastes Like Sangria

• White or red wine

• Aperol

• Apple Brandy

• Lime seltzer

• Fresh fruit to garnish

• Ice

Fill wine or rocks glass with ice. Add wine half way up. Add .75oz Aperol (about half a shot glass), a splash of apple brandy and top off with a bit of lime seltzer. Garnish with whatever fruit you have on hand. Here I used some home grown grapes, peach, apple and lime wedges.
