An extra-summery twist on the Aperol Spritz.

Nico de Soto (of New York’s Mace) offers this twist on the Aperol Spritz, as well as a little play on words. The question of “Qui Oui?” (Who, yes?) is answered phonetically by its special ingredient—kiwi.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz. Aperol
1/2 oz. St-Germain elderflower liqueur
1/2 oz. kiwi syrup
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
pinch of salt
Prosecco

Tools:shaker, strainer
Glass:wine
Garnish:kiwi slice

Preparation

Add all the ingredients except the prosecco to a shaker and shake with ice. Strain into a wine glass with fresh ice, top with prosecco and garnish.

Kiwi SyrupPeel and purée 3 kiwis in a blender. Strain the purée through a coffee filter into a measuring cup. Add an equal quantity of sugar and stir to combine. Transfer to a saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Transfer to a sealable container to cool. The syrup will keep in the fridge for up to 1 week.
