The marriage of bittersweet and bubbles suits any picnic, from the beach and garden to the countryside or next to your favourite river. It\u2019s the kind of cocktail you can enjoy slowly while munching on picnic snacks with good friends. Speaking of snacks, think <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/test.themixer.com\/en-uk\/learn\/aperitivo-hour\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">aperitivo-hour<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> classics and pair the bittersweet flavours with salty snacks, cured meats, light cheeses, and citrus-laced salads.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">As far as visual charm goes, the Aperol Spritz can rival any coastal sunset. Its vivid orange and sparkling personality brighten any picnic table or\u00a0cosy\u00a0lawn blanket. The best part is it comes together quicker than most cocktails by simply pouring over ice and stirring. Keep it classic with a slice of orange as a garnish, or get creative with your\u00a0favourite\u00a0herbs, berries, or edible flowers.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The trick to a great Aperol Spritz lies in the classic 3-2-1 ratio.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0easy to remember and will give you a great cocktail every time.

The essentials are a good cooler bag or box, glassware or cups, paper plates, napkins, straws and sliced citrus fruit for garnish. For comfort, a large picnic blanket is\u00a0a must, and a few small pillows are optional if you have space. Keep snacks light, and picnic bonus points are awarded if\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0already prepared them ahead of time.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A good picnic should be an unpack, pour, and feast situation\u00a0instead of trying to assemble complicated dishes upon arrival.

Fresh rosemary or thyme will add an earthy note. Blackberries or blueberries will add a touch of sweetness, and your summer spritz will sing with a few slices of fragrant strawberries.

Keep each element cold and mix the cocktails to order at the picnic. If\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0mixing cocktails for a crowd, take a large container to mix a batch in and serve\u00a0immediately\u00a0over ice.

Mix and match your favourite flavours to create the ultimate refreshing citrus blend. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Berry Spritz<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For a sweet yet tart summer spritz, go wild with berries.

A sprig of mint, basil, or rosemary adds aromatic freshness that complements Aperol\u2019s citrus character. Add a few berries for brightness or a slice of citrus to bring it all together. This easy spritz variation shines at garden parties and picnics.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Light Spritz<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For easy summer gatherings or\u00a0special events, a lighter serve can be a smarter choice.

The snacks are there to invigorate your appetite with a blend of salty, sweet,\u00a0creamy,\u00a0and fresh\u00a0flavours. Marinated olives and cured meats like prosciutto and salami pair gorgeously with bittersweet\u00a0flavours.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Light and creamy cheeses like burrata, mozzarella, or mild goat cheese help temper sharp flavours. Crusty breads like sliced ciabatta and torn chunks of focaccia, as well as salty crackers, help clear the palate between sips.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">For salads, go light and fresh with citrus, shaved Parmesan,\u00a0and peppery leaves like\u00a0rocket\u00a0or watercress. A simple fennel and orange salad will echo the herbaceous and citrus elements of the cocktail without overwhelming it.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">To end with something sweet, fruit-based options are a treat. Fresh strawberries and sorbet, or a slice of a\u00a0lemon\u00a0tart\u00a0that you cleverly made the night before, will be perfect. For a creamy twist, try a chilled yoghurt panna cotta that you can wow your friends with at the end of the picnic. The trick to a great picnic is small plates and variety.
