Non-Alcoholic Aperol Spritz (2 Ingredients, 5 Minutes)
This non-alcoholic Aperol spritz has just two ingredients, Lyre’s Italian Spritz and sparkling water, and it takes 5 minutes to make. Pour it over ice, add an orange slice, and you’ve got that bitter citrus spritz flavor with no alcohol at all. It’s the one I make for holiday parties, date night, or any night I want a spritz without the alcohol. Just make sure everything is chilled!

Notes
Build each glass fresh and serve right away. Once the sparkling water goes in, the bubbles start to fade, so don’t mix a pitcher ahead of time. Making them for a party? Keep the Lyre’s and the sparkling water chilled and build each glass as guests arrive.
Chill everything, not just the glass. A few ice cubes can’t cool warm ingredients fast enough without watering the drink down.
Stick to the ratio. 2 ounces (60 ml) of Lyre’s to 4 ounces (120 ml) of sparkling water keeps the bitter Italian citrus flavor bright.
Don’t skip the orange slice. The citrus oils from the garnish make the first sip smell as good as it tastes.
