Recently, my husband has been drinking less, and we’ve been looking for delicious mocktail options when dining out.

During a dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, he ordered an Aperol Spritz Mocktail – and let me tell you, it was the best non-alcoholic version of an Aperol Spritz we’ve ever had! We were so impressed that we asked the bartender for their secret.

The key to making this drink similar to the classic is using zero-proof Ritual Aperitif to get that perfect balance of bitter and sweet. The bitterness is what gives it the Aperol flavor. It’s very bitter bit in a good way!

With all the great zero-proof sparkling wines available nowadays, it’s easier than ever to create refreshing mocktails at home, just like this one.

Aperol Spritz Mocktail Ingredients

  • Ritual Aperitif (non-alcoholic): Provides the signature bitter flavor that mimics the classic Aperol taste without the alcohol.
  • Non-alcoholic sparkling wine: Adds fizz and a celebratory feel, just like the original spritz.
  • Sparkling water: Lightens the drink and enhances the refreshing, bubbly texture.
  • Fresh orange juice: Brings a touch of sweetness and bright citrus notes to balance the bitterness.
  • Dehydrated orange slice (for garnish): Adds visual appeal and a fresh citrus aroma.

Tips for the Perfect Aperol Spritz Mocktail

  • Chill Your Ingredients: To keep the mocktail refreshing, ensure that your sparkling wine, water, and juice are well chilled before making the drink.
  • Garnish Creatively: You can also add fresh herbs like thyme or basil to elevate the flavor and presentation of your Aperol Spritz Mocktail.
  • Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter mocktail, add a bit more orange juice or even a splash of simple syrup.
