In our Aperol spritz cranberry sauce recipe, the classic Thanksgiving sauce gets a serious upgrade thanks to the components from the latest trendy cocktail.
In a small saucepan, stir together the cranberries, orange juice, dried cranberries and sugar. Cook the mixture over medium heat until the cranberries pop, about 15 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the Aperol and orange zest until well combined.
Transfer the Aperol spritz cranberry sauce to a small bowl and allow it to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate the cranberry sauce until it’s chilled thoroughly. If desired, top with additional orange zest just before serving.
