A booze-free alternative to the beloved Aperol Spritz
Josh Cellars Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Aperol Spritz

The Aperol Spritz is one of the most beloved cocktails, but it's not exactly appropriate for Dry January. However, if you are skipping the booze this month, you needn't miss out on the fun of a spritz. We have two recipes from Josh Cellars, which makes non-alcoholic sparkling wine that is perfect for turning into spritzes. There's an Aperol-related version which uses non-alcoholic Italian orange liqueur, or a Hugo-related version which makes use of elderflower syrup to add a floral, deep note to your drink.

Get out a big copa glass, fill it up with NA sparkling wine, other ingredients, and some fancy garnishes, and enjoy all the luxury of a spritz without the booze.
