Strawberry-rosé Aperol spritz

*Makes 1 pitcher

Ingredients:

• 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 750-ml bottle rosé wine
• 2 cups sparkling or soda water
• 1/3 cup Aperol
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

A few notes on making this:

• This is a perfect summer party drink— it’s light and refreshing, and can be made in advance.
• If making in advance, add all ingredients together in the pitcher except the sparkling water—add that right before serving.
• You can also use prosecco instead of rosé, or half wine/half prosecco.

Directions:

• Combine strawberries and wine in a large pitcher.
• Cover and chill for 3 hours to infuse wine.
• Strain wine into a large bowl, reserving some strawberries for garnish.
• Return wine to pitcher.
• Stir in soda water, Aperol, and lemon juice. Divide among ice-filled glasses
• Garnish drinks with a lemon twist and a few reserved strawberries.
