As the heat of summer begins to climb, we cool down with a refreshing variation on an Italian classic: the Aperol Spritz.

The official drink of Venice, the Aperol Spritz is a mix of its namesake bitter Italian liqueur and sparkling prosecco. Here, we add a fresh burst of fruit to the recipe with juicy strawberries and tart rhubarb from the local greenmarket. The result is a refreshing and elegant summer sipper.

• 2 shots Aperol

2. Muddle the ingredients in the bottom of the shaker until crushed.
