Making an Pomerol Spritzer

You will need the following ingredients to make this delicious cocktail.

Aperol

Aperol is an Italian apéritif that originated in Padua in 1919. Famous for its vibrant orange colour and bittersweet flavour profile.

Aperol is uses a blend of bitter and sweet oranges, herbs, and roots, creating a unique taste. Enjoy Aperol on its own over ice or as a key ingredient in cocktails like in our Pomerol Spritzer. Find a bottle of Aperol from any supermarket.

Double Dutch Pomegranate & Basil

Pomegranate & Basil Mixer – an epic combination of Mediterranean flavours. Pomegranate blends sweet and tart, giving body to cocktails, making this fruit a truly mythic mixer. Combined with basil, warm and peppery, it delivers complex, enticing flavours that add depth to any drink. Glorious with herbal gin, it also enlivens mezcal and is vivacious with vermouth.

Orange

Adding an extra orange enhances the look of the drink and also adds fresh depth to the cocktail. Any orange will do as long as it fresh. Slice the orange to make an orange wheel to sit on the rim of the glass.

Basil

To add more basil flavour and also make your cocktail look more professional add a basil stem to your finished drink.

Tools For Making a Pomerol Spritzer

The cocktail is super easy to make, but you can use the following tools to improve your process.

Wine Glass

Using a wine glass allows the drinker to hold the glass without warming the cocktail. It can also enhance the flavours of the drink thanks to the bowl shape. We'd recommend using a white wine glass for this cocktail. This shape preserves floral aromas and helps maintain a cooler temperature.

Spirits Jiggers

Using a spirits jigger is not essential but can improve your process. The jigger makes it super easy and quick to measure out ingredients. You can find spirit jiggers in a lot of supermarkets, or you can buy them online.

Long-handle Spoon

Any keen cocktail maker has a long-handle as it makes the process of making drinks a lot easier. Again, this isn't a must have if you're in a pinch, but it can help out. The long-handle allows you to mix the cocktail deeper in the glass, improving the combination of the drinks.
