Don't let the month of love get you down: Singles' Brutal spritzer

Valentine's Day is around the corner and the thought of bracing for it while being single again can be daunting for some bachelors and bachelorettes. While it would be a treat to stuff yourself silly with the contents of your entire pantry, there are other more fun treats to spoil yourself with as you enjoy this much-deserved me time before meeting Mr or Miss Right. 

Here's one of the most favoured drinks at this year's Clicks beauty sale: 

INGREDIENTS

• 125ml Aperol Spritz
• 125ml Lemon juice
• 125ml Elderflower syrup
• 90ml Brutal Fruit, litchi sèche flavour
• 100ml ice cubes

METHOD

1. Ice your glass with 70ml of ice cubes. Pour the rest into your cocktail shaker.
2. Add your Aperol Spritz, lemon juice and elderflower syrup.
3. Give it a good 12-15 second shake.
4. Pour your mix through a strainer into a champagne flute.
5. Pour in 90ml of Brutal Fruit, litchi sèche flavour. 

Tip:

If you don't have litchi, replace it with a sweet bubbly of your choice instead.
