Aperol Spritz Bombs

Ingredients

Aperol

4 tablespoons simple syrup (1 cup white sugar, 1 cup water)

Zest of 1-2 large oranges

La Marca Prosecco

My exact Silicone Ice Mold: https://amzn.to/3V9RAHY

Directions

  1. Make your simple syrup by combing 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Allow to completely cool.

  2. Divide your orange zest among your ice tray or ice ball molds. (I used four large ice ball molds) but you can also use regular ice cube trays.

  3. Pour one tablespoon of simple syrup into each mold. Top off with Aperol and stir to combine. Freeze for at least 6-8 hours. Be careful not to overfill them and leave in your freezer overnight. They will expand and be a mess. Store remaining simple syrup in the fridge.

  4. Add one Aperol bomb to your glass and top with Prosecco. Garnish with orange slice or orange leaf. Enjoy immediately!

** These are soft ice balls. They do not stay frozen for very long once submerged in Prosecco.
