Try the following delicious drinks that will quickly warm your heart.
1 / 5Aperol Spritz has been a cocktail classic for years.

Simply add some apple or orange juice to the white wine and Aperol.
Heat the mixture in a saucepan, slice an organic orange and let half of the slices steep for a few minutes.
Put the other in glasses and pour the Hot Aperol over it.
Et voilà!
