So far, Hugo, Lillet Wild Berry and above all the incomparable Aperol Spritz have been the undisputed champions of spritz drinks. The Aperol Spritz has held a firm place in people’s hearts and tongues since 1919 and can be effortlessly enjoyed at any time of the year. But not this year! Because now a new sensation is waiting for you: the Aperol Paloma!
This exciting creation turns everything you thought you knew about spritzers on its head. Instead of the usual mineral water and prosecco, strong tequila is used here in combination with tempting orange liqueur. But that is not all! In order to give the whole thing the perfect kick of taste, refreshing grapefruit and juicy, tangy lime juice are added. The result? An unforgettable taste explosion that will blow your mind!

Aperol Paloma is too strong for you as a summer drink?
However, if the drink is too strong for you, you can easily change a few things during the preparation. An easy way would be to add mineral water and thereby alleviate the taste. You can also minimize the amount of tequila, aperol, or orange liqueur and just add more orange juice.
