Ahhh Fall! It’s finally here! It took awhile to get here in Texas, and someday’s the weather still tries to revert back to summer, but for the most part, cooler weather is here and I love it. Now, don’t get me wrong, I loved our summer days in the pool and the all the fun in the sun that we had. But I feel like I’ve been swimming for 9 months and I am ready for some sweaters! Our favorite drink to help us cool down was an aperol spritz. It was a perfect summer drink, but I wasn’t ready to let go of that quite yet. Enter, the Autumn Aperol Spritz! It’s pretty similar to a traditional spritz but with a few hints of fall. So to all my pumpkin spice and apple cider lovin ladies, here is your go-to fall drink! I’m going to be making these for some friends for Halloween, but one of the best parts about this drink is that it can easily last through Thanksgiving. So let’s get to the recipe!
