Frozen Aperol Spritz with Mango + Passionfruit
Whether you’re lounging poolside or hosting friends, this slushy drink will send you straight to the tropics.
Ingredients
The specific measurements for each ingredient can be found below in the recipe card. But here’s what you’ll need to round up to make a frozen Aperol spritz like this one…
- Frozen mango: Gives amazing flavor to the drink and helps make it frozen.
- Simple syrup: A little bit of sweetness to balance out the more bitter side of Aperol.
- Passionfruit pulp: Brings some aromatic flavor to the table. Plus, passionfruit is pretty refreshing. Perfect for summer.
- Chilled Prosecco: Add a little more sweetness.
- Aperol: The star of the show!
- Ice cubes: The ice, along with the frozen mango, help make this cocktail frozen.
- Garnish: To make your cocktail extra pretty, you can garnish it with a mango slice, passionfruit pulp, or even a little bit of mint.
How to Make an Aperol Slush
To make this frozen delight, you’ll blend all the ingredients together briefly, pour, add a garnish, and serve. It’s truly so easy.
The only thing to note, would be that you don’t want to blend it too long (just 25-30 seconds until everything is combined). Over blending may cause the bubbles from the Prosecco to dissipate / flatten the taste a bit.
Drink Modifications
For a thinner drink, you can simply reduce the ice or add more Prosecco. And if you prefer a thicker consistency, add extra frozen mango or ice.
Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more simple syrup, if desired.
And if you wanna try something different with the flavors, I would recommend swapping out the simple syrup and passionfruit in the recipe for my homemade blackberry syrup recipe. It’s basically blackberry simple syrup (just thicker) and is really yummy in cocktails. Pairs well with mango too.
That’s all this frozen Aperol spritz. But if you wanna a couple more frozen cocktail recipes, try one of these…
