A classic Aperol spritz is a refreshing cocktail typically served in Italy during the summer.
This non alcoholic Aperol spritz (AKA aperitif spritz) is so similar to a classic Aperol spritz recipe that you won’t even miss the alcohol!
Ingredients
To make this Aperol spritz mocktail, you’ll need:
- Ritual Aperitif Alternative – I absolutely love the Ritual Aperitif Alternative – it has a great flavor and you don’t need a ton to make this Aperol spritz!
- Club soda – Club soda works beautifully in this mocktail! Soda water also works, so pick what you like the most!
- Orange – An orange slice or two turns this into the perfect Aperol spritz. If you don’t have any orange slices aren’t your thing, feel free to use grapefruit slices or even grapefruit juice!
Your typical Aperol spritz ingredients would have sparkling wine (or French champagne), club soda, Aperol, and orange slices – so when you think about it, you’re really not missing too much!
Turning refreshing cocktails into refreshing mocktails is something that I love doing – you’re able to drink more without the fear of a hangover in the morning!
How to make a non alcoholic Aperol spritz

And that’s all you need to make an Aperol spritz mocktail. Crazy, right?!
