Commercial equivalent

Aperol Spritz

Ingredients:

Water, natural flavourings (contains quinine), thickener (glycerine), flavouring, colours (E110, E122).

HOW TO USE THE FLAVOUR:

Shake well and add contents and 310ml of 40% alcohol together with Base Pack B. Mix well then top up with water to 1.125 litres. Alternatively use 250ml of sugar and 100ml of liquid glucose as a substitute to Base Pack B.

WHAT TYPE OF SPIRIT TO USE.

The best spirit to flavour will be a neutral one, like vodka. A higher quality vodka will not have the same harshness as a cheaper vodka. Alternatively, you can make your own neutral spirit to flavour – this will certainly be the cheapest option and also the most rewarding.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO DISTIL YOUR OWN SPIRIT

The equipment required to make a spirit includes basic brewing equipment, which can be found in the ‘Starter kits’ section of our website. You will also need either a Still to distil your alcohol from a spirit wash (highly recommended), or you will need a high alcohol kit. There are two choices of stills on our website, the AirStill and the T500.
