Fichi d’India Spritz

If you’ve ever been to Southern Italy in the summer time you’ve probably seen fichi d’india or prickly pears growing everywhere. This deliciously sweet fruit is worth the hassle of having to pick it off of a cactus! This cocktail is the perfect ode to the end of summer.

Ingredients

1 fichi d’india (prickly pear)

1 oz aperol

1 oz prosecco

Directions

Peel the skin off of your fichi d’india and put it in a blender with a splash of water. Blend until it becomes liquid

Next, strain the liquid so you don’t get all of the little pits in your cocktail

Fill a cocktail glass with ice, add 1 oz prosecco, 1 oz aperol and 1 oz of the fichi d’india juice

Garnish with mint
