Discover the perfect blend of citrusy sweetness and herbal bitterness in our Aperol Orange Juice recipe. Refreshing and vibrant, it's the ideal pick-me-up for any occasion!
Start by peeling and segmenting two large oranges. To get the finest flavor, make sure they are juicy and ripe.
Blend the Oranges
In a blender, add the freshly segmented oranges. Blend until smooth, ensuring no chunks are remaining.
Introduce the Aperol
Next, pour 1/4 cup of Aperol into the blender with the blended oranges. This unique addition will add a delightful bitterness and herbal undertones to your juice.
Add Soda Water (Optional)
You can top off the cocktail with 1 ounce of soda water for a touch of effervescence. This step is optional but adds a delightful fizz to the drink.
Sweeten to Taste
Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the blender to balance out the flavors. Adjust the amount according to your desired level of sweetness. Blend briefly to incorporate the honey evenly.
Chill and Serve
Once your Aperol Orange Juice is blended, add ice cubes to glasses and pour the juice over them. Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra burst of freshness.
Notes
Enjoy your Aperol Orange Juice responsibly, and remember to drink in moderation, especially if consuming alcoholic beverages.
