Meet The Watermelon Spritz

Colorful, easy-drinking, and genuinely simple. Fresh watermelon juice and Aperol make up the base — blend it, jar it, and it's ready to travel to the beach, the in-laws', or wherever the weekend takes you. Top with prosecco right when you're ready to pour, and you're done.

You'll need:

• 3 cups fresh watermelon juice (blended and strained)
• 1 cup Aperol
• 0.5 cup fresh lime juice
• 1 liter prosecco, chilled, to top
• Watermelon wedges, for garnish
• Mint sprigs, for garnish

How to build it:

1. Blend fresh watermelon flesh and strain to get your juice.
2. Combine the watermelon juice, Aperol, and lime juice in a jug or mason jars. Chill until ready to travel.
3. On arrival, pour the base over ice in glasses.
4. Top each glass with chilled prosecco.
5. Garnish with a watermelon wedge and mint. Serve immediately.

Cheers, and happy Friday. 🍉
