• Remove the frozen Aperol cubes from the tray or container and place them into a blender.
• Add the frozen orange slices to the blender as well.

Chill Out with These Tasty Frozen Aperol Spritz Hacks

Alright, let’s talk about leveling up your Frozen Aperol Spritz experience, shall we? I will share some insider hacks that will have you chilling this summer.

• Aperol Tips: The Aperol won’t freeze completely solid but will freeze enough to contribute to the desired slushy texture. For convenience, you can even freeze the Aperol in ice cube trays 4 hours to 2 days ahead.

• Prep Ahead: Freeze the Aperol and orange juice in covered ice cube trays to avoid unwanted freezer odors. Moreover, storing pre-blend batches in the freezer is a great option for parties or gatherings.

• Frozen Strawberries: Adding frozen strawberries is optional but highly recommended for an extra punch of flavor. It will help maintain the frozen consistency for longer.

• Tropical Twist: Instead of frozen oranges, try using a bag of frozen tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, and passion fruit for a tropical vibe.

• Berry Burst: Add 1/2 cup of frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, or a mixed berry blend) for a sweet and colorful twist.

With these tips and variations, you may improve your Frozen Aperol Spritz experience and keep it exciting with each sip.
