Hot Spritz for an Enchanting Winter

A warm and enchanting twist on the traditional Spritz, this cocktail transports you to the heart of winter by blending the sweetness of honey with the bitterness of Aperol, complemented by a hint of orange. A flavorful escape to savor by a fireplace or on a chilly evening.

If you desire a touch of effervescence, you can add a splash of sparkling water just before serving. This will give your warm winter Spritz a slight sparkle.


Ingredients

  • 40 cl dry white wine
  • 5 cl bitter orange syrup
  • 3 tsp flower honey
  • 10 cl Aperol

  • 1 thin orange slice, for garnish
  • 1 small sprig of rosemary, for garnish
  • 1 cinnamon stick, for garnish

Preparation steps

  1. In a saucepan, combine the white wine, bitter orange syrup, and honey. Heat gently, making sure not to exceed 70°C (158°F), while stirring to dissolve the honey completely.

  3. Pour your hot Spritz into pre-warmed glasses. Garnish with the orange slice, cinnamon stick, and rosemary sprig for an additional aesthetic and aromatic touch.
  4. Serve immediately, ensuring the drink stays warm for an optimal taste experience.
