Alright, let’s talk about this little adventure I had putting together an Aperol Spritz gift set. I’ve always been a fan of that bright, bubbly, bittersweet concoction, so when I decided to make a gift set, I was pretty excited to get started.
First things first, I needed to get my hands on the essentials. Obviously, Aperol was top of the list. I picked up a full-size bottle, the classic 700ml one with its eye-catching orange hue. It’s got that unique rhubarb and orange flavor that just screams “summer evening” to me.
Next up, the Prosecco. I went with a bottle of La Marca, ’cause it’s a pretty safe bet for a decent bubbly that won’t break the bank, but you do you. You could go for something fancier, but honestly, for a spritz, a simple, dry Prosecco does the job just fine.
Now, I wanted this gift set to feel a bit special, so I thought, “Why not throw in some glasses?” I found these cool goblet-style glasses online. They’re a good size, about 16 oz, perfect for a generous serving of spritz. And they just look fancier than a regular old wine glass, you know?
So, I’ve got the booze and the glasses. I also grabbed a couple of those mini cocktail kits online. They come with enough for two servings, perfect for sharing… or not, I’m not judging.
Putting It All Together
- I got a nice box, nothing too flashy, but sturdy and good-looking.
- I lined it with some colorful tissue paper to give it that gift-set vibe.
- Then, I nestled the Aperol and Prosecco bottles in there, making sure they were snug and secure.
- The glasses went in next, also wrapped in tissue paper for extra protection.
- Finally, I tucked the mini cocktail kits on the side.
Honestly, it all came together pretty easily. And let me tell you, the final product looked great! It’s the kind of gift I’d be thrilled to receive myself. A little bit of Italian sunshine, all packed up and ready to go.
If you’re thinking of making one yourself, it’s really a no-brainer. You can find everything online or at your local liquor store. And it’s a fun little project, especially if you’re into cocktails. Plus, who wouldn’t want to get a box full of spritz goodness? One thing I noticed is that while Aperol Spritz is delicious it can be a bit sweet. I think next time I will try a dry sparkling wine, or maybe just use less Aperol. These days you can find this drink everywhere from local bars to fancy restaurants, guess it is a popular drink.
Anyway, that’s my Aperol Spritz gift set story. Hope you found it somewhat entertaining or at least a tiny bit helpful. Cheers!
