3-2-1 SUMMER!
It’s the summer of the spritz!
This season we’re getting inspired by the bright, bold hue of the summer classic, Aperol Spritz. The runways of London and New York for spring and summer 2025 featured hot pinks and oranges, capturing the vibrance, joy and exuberance of the sunniest season. Whether you love a cocktail, or a mocktail, we've got recipes and 8 ways to add summer’s hottest, juiciest shades to your home and lifestyle!
Runways in London and New York featured vibrant shades of pink and orange, for a fun summer palette. -images from British Vogue, Runway Magazine and Who What Wear.
Our muse
The slightly sweet, slightly bitter and thoroughly refreshing Aperol Spritz! Whether you're toasting at aperitivo time, or relaxing during a weekend brunch, the spritz is always a crowd pleaser. The 3-2-1 ratio makes it a cinch to have in your back pocket for no-fuss entertaining, and best of all, there are now delicious alcohol-free aperitivo alternatives. These recipes are adapted from NYTimes Cooking and The Mindful Mocktail.
The Aperol Spritz is easy to make as a mocktail!
