Although it’s hard for us to imagine, it’s time we faced up to the facts: not everyone likes Aperol spritz. Shocking as that may be to process, we’re all about inclusivity over here at delicious. and we’ve got a spritz for everyone!

From rhubarb infusions to a bellini-inspired number, next time you’re hosting a get-together, give one of these alternative spritz recipes a go. Who knows, you might forget all about your favourite orange-hued cocktail (unlikely)…

5 alternative spritz recipes for when you’re not in the mood for an Aperol

Pomegranate spritz
If it’s a scorching hot summers’ day, there’s really no other tipple that will tick all the right boxes quite like our pomegranate spritz. It works equally well in the cooler months as a celebratory drink, though. Pomegranate and orange juice are responsible for the fruity taste and zesty hue.

Orchard spritz
Not everyone likes champagne (gasp!) so an alternative would be to serve this fruity cocktail at your next drinks party. It combines calvados with fruit cordial (such as pear and raspberry or apple and plum), topped up with sparkling wine.

Rhubarb Aperol spritz
For those that find the classic Aperol spritz too bitter, this is a great alternative, using a homemade apple and fresh rhubarb syrup.

Peach and prosecco spritz
If you’re after a cocktail that’ll taste like summer, this seasonal spritz contains blitzed peaches, lemon juice, sugar and, of course, a splash of prosecco.

Pimm’s spritz
The summer has officially *arrived* when a jug of Pimm’s appears. We’ve jazzed-up the classic Pimm’s and lemonade by adding prosecco. Cheers!
