June’s Julius

When it comes to day drinking, we’re all about low-ABV tipples, and this refreshing Aperol-spiked granita from June’s All Day in Austin, Texas, perfectly fits the bill. "I think of this as a fun adult slushie, ideal for a summer party or a pool-side refresher,” bartender Aarial Ferguson-Henderson says. “Also, at 11 percent ABV, you won't get too tipsy.” Orange juice and Aperol give this slurpable granita a double dose of sweet citrus flavor without making the drink cloying. “The bitterness from the Aperol balances the sweetness of the orange granita,” she says. “To make it even less sweet, you can always add a couple dashes of bitters.”
