One of the things I love the most about traveling in Italy is that I can find a perfect Aperol Spritz around every corner. For an Aperol-loving girl like myself, it is literally heaven on Earth. Of course, at some point, the vacation has to come to an end and I am inevitably forced to return home to a country that hasn’t quite perfected the use of Aperol in cocktails.
Following this last trip to Venice however, I decided to bring the taste of Italy back with me in the form of this refreshingly light Aperol Grapefruit Splash. A drink that, thanks to its gorgeous blood orange color, just so happens to also make the perfect Valentine’s Day cocktail.
