Forget glühwein, the Aperol is hot

Say wine, snacks or haute cuisine and the gourmands at online food magazine FavorFlav know where to drink, how to eat it and what to cook. This time our cheffies serve you: hot Aperol.

What do you get when you combine glühwein and Aperol Spritz into one drink? Yes indeed: Hot Aperol! This warm winter version of the popular summer drink is the latest hit in the beverage world that you want to taste.

Whether it's a cake with Aperol or Aperol fizz balls for cocktails: everything with the Italian bittersweet liqueur is delicious. And this Hot Aperol, which you can easily make yourself, is no exception. The warm Aperol with glühwein feeling is by the way not an entirely unknown drink. In Germany, Hot Aperol has been a true classic for years. So if you want to bridge the time while sipping an Aperol Spritz on a sunny terrace: this is your chance.

Here's how to make the Hot Aperol

1. Wash the orange and cut it into slices.
2. Heat the Aperol, white wine, apple juice, and orange syrup in a saucepan. Make sure it doesn't boil because then the alcohol evaporates (and we don't want that!)
3. Serve the Hot Aperol in glasses with a slice of orange, a cinnamon stick, and star anise.
