A sparkling wine-based cocktail traditionally served in the northern part of Italy during "apertif hour". Essential to the spritz is an Italian bitter orange liqueur such as Aperol, which is in the same family as Campari but a little less bitter and a little more refined. This Simple Aperol Spritz is fairly low in alcohol, luckily, because it goes down a little too easily! Cin cin!

A perfect end to a chilly night, we love this Winter take on the White Russian. Leave one of these out for Santa and he'll grand your entire wish list.

This champagne cocktail is a fresh take on a mimosa. Serve it at brunch or a holiday party. Adding the juice last enables the alcohol to rise and the drink to miz itself as you pour.

The holidays are an indulgent time of year for all of us. It can help to have a few low-calorie cocktails in your arsenal. Try freezing ice cubes with fresh pomegranate seeds for an unexpected twist.
