The Apo Is Serving Up Aperol Spritz Icy Poles All Weekend

Alcoholic icy poles are a trend everyone can get on behind: they're cold, tasty and combine two tried-and-tested ways of coping with Australia's blazing summer heat. If you thought the Champagne version was something to get excited about, then the newest frozen treat is certain to get your mouth watering. Thanks to Fortitude Valley's The Apo, say hello to Aperol Spritz ice blocks.

For this weekend only, the Ann Street bar and eatery is doing Brisbanites a solid and turning Aperol, Prosecco, fresh oranges and syrup into chilled solids. Now that's a refreshment. Given the relentless warmth of late, they're certain to be popular. The fact that they're a limited-time deal will make extra certain that's the case as well.

The icy poles are being pitched as an adult spin on a childhood treat — and while you're never too old for a sticky block of sweetened icy water, particularly with plenty of ace local artisan versions now doing the rounds, you can start grinning like a kid at this addition to the fold. Here's hoping that the delicious icy poles stick around. Let's face it, it's almost always boozy frozen treat weather in Brissie.

Find The Apo at 690 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley. Aperol Spritz ice blocks are on sale from February 3 to 5.
