A little sweet, a little bitter—this party punch is the yin and yang of dock parties. If you decide to mix it up in a 5-gallon bucket, that’s entirely appropriate. We approve, wholeheartedly. The Steamed Clams Over Embers is an excellent choice to pair with this cocktail.
Ingredients
For the Infused Aperol
- 1 bottle Aperol
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- For the syrup
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 cup honey
For the punch
- 2 ¼ cups infused Aperol
- 1 cup Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- ¾ cup syrup
- 3 cups prosecco
- 3 cups sparkling water
- Grapefruit slices and rosemary sprigs
Preparation
Place the sprigs of fresh rosemary into the bottle of Aperol, and let sit for 2 hours. Combine the honey and warm water, stirring until well-incorporated. Mix the infused Aperol, vodka and syrup in a punch bowl, then top with prosecco and sparkling water. Garnish with grapefruit slices and rosemary sprigs, and serve over lots of ice.
