This satisfying, yet sophisticated take on an Aperol Spritz features a classic Jewish-American ingredient: Manischewitz. This craft cocktail carefully harnesses the sweetness of Manischewitz concord grape wine without being overly-saccharine—it’s a genius, grown-up use of a familiar, but somewhat sickly, holiday ingredient. Bartender Naomi Levy balances sweet Aperol and Manischewitz with dry sparkling wine and lime juice in her Aperol Schvitz.
