For a refreshing change to your usual spritz, try swapping in easy-drinking Rosé Aperitivo for Italian bitters like Aperol and Campari. I added a bit of gin and lemon juice, and topped it off with blackberry soda and fresh blackberries for garnish.
Ingredients
1 ½ ounces Rosé Aperitivo
½ ounce gin
½ ounce lemon juice
Top with blackberry soda
Fresh blackberries, for garnish (optional)
Directions
Shake all ingredients except the blackberry soda in a cocktail shaker.
