Aperol Winter Mimosa Cocktail Recipe
I love adding a splash of color and flavor to winter gatherings with an Aperol Winter Mimosa. This cocktail combines the citrusy zest of orange juice with the unique taste of Aperol, all topped with sparkling wine. It's not only delightful but also easy to make with just a few essentials.

I love experimenting with my flavors. Feel free to adjust the Aperol or juice for more or less sweetness.
The choice of wine can affect the taste, so if you prefer a sweeter drink, opt for a sweeter sparkling wine. Share your own twists on the recipe or how it turned out for you in the comments below! ✨
