Beer cocktails have become increasingly popular over the past few years. This Orange Aperol Beer Spritz takes our favorite blonde ale from Country Boy Brewing and kicks it up a notch with the taste of freshly squeezed orange juice and a bit of Aperol. It screams summer!
Aperol has been around for ages, but has made a major comeback in the cocktail world lately. What is Aperol? Aperol is an Italian apéritif made of gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona, among other ingredients. The major flavors I get from aperol are sweet orange with a bit of bitterness. It pairs extremely well with Prosecco and also with beer, especially the blonde versions. We paired Aperol with our favorite local beer, Country Boy Brewing’s Cougar Bait American Blonde Ale, and it turned out absolutely amazing!
