Perfect Presentation Platters

This Aperol Float looks so refreshing and pretty in just abot any glass! Here are some of our favorites:

Glasses: I used these Stemless Glasses from Walmart that are a great deal!

Paper Straws: This multi-colored pack is so cute and adds a little extra to any drink!

Checkered Serving Boards: I used my Mackenzie-Childs check-chop board for both function and decor, which also comes in large. These are definitely investment pieces, but you can also check out a $30 version from Amazon or this heavy-duty version (also from Amazon!)

Wooden Serving Board: I love this large wooden platter from Target that is so cute, especially the handy double handles. If you’re looking to add to a collection, Antique Hardware has this set of 3 that I get so much use out of. I also use this rectangular tray all the time. (Both at a great price!)

Kitchen Links: I get asked all the time about the products in the background of my kitchen. Much of it is from MacKenzie-Childs, which I have slowly grown a collection of over the years! My favorites are this checkered chopping board, my black and white checkered teapot, and the gray and white checkered utensil holder. I also have this enamel canister that you can find in small, medium, or large.

Can I Prep This Aperol Float in Advance?

Since this comes together so quickly and you won’t want the ice cream to melt, we don’t recommend making this ahead of time. However, you can definitely slice the oranges 1-2 days in advance to save a bit of time!
