Does a non-alcoholic Aperol Spritz taste like the original?

Yes! High-quality non-alcoholic spirits used for a Spritz are specifically crafted to replicate the bitterness of rhubarb and the sweetness of orange. When mixed with a dry non-alcoholic sparkling wine, the flavor profile is remarkably close to a traditional Italian Spritz.

What is the best non-alcoholic alternative to Aperol?

Brands like Lyre’s Italian Orange, Rebels 0.0% Dolce Spritz, and Wilfred’s are world-renowned for their ability to mimic the bittersweet notes of Aperol. We offer these individually or as part of a curated Spritz kit.

How do I mix an alcohol-free Spritz?

The golden rule is 3-2-1: Use 3 parts non-alcoholic sparkling wine, 2 parts non-alcoholic Italian bitter, and 1 part soda water. Pour over plenty of ice and garnish with an orange slice.

Are these Spritz alternatives lower in calories?

Most definitely. A non-alcoholic Aperol Spritz alternative usually contains significantly fewer calories and less sugar than the original alcoholic version, making it a lighter, more refreshing choice.

Non-alcoholic Aperol Spritz

A non-alcoholic spritz starts with a bittersweet aperitivo, bubbles and ice. You'll find both here: aperitivos such as Abstinence Blood Orange Apéritif and Willem's Wermoed Orange & Grapefruit, and ready-made spritz such as ALT Orange Spritz and Acala Spritz Style, a sparkling tea with blood orange and grapefruit. Lovely on a terrace, but just as good as an aperitif before a winter dinner.
