The non-alcoholic version stands or falls on the aperitivo bottle. You want a bitter, not a fruit soda dyed orange. If the only orange bottle in the house is alcoholic, make the virgin Hugo or the lemon cooler instead of pretending.
Dry NA bubbly matters just as much. A sweet one plus 60 ml of aperitivo-style syrup tastes like a float.

Can you make an Aperol-style spritz with no alcohol?
Yes, if both the bubbles and the bitter orange aperitivo are alcohol-free. Keep the 3-2-1 ratio and garnish with orange.
