Aperol boasts a unique taste that has made it the most common apéritif
in Italy. This world-famous, lightly alcoholic apéritif is made from gentian,
bitter orange, cinchona, rhubarb and other ingredients. Aperol is critically
acclaimed, receiving double-gold medals in both the 2010 and 2012 San Francisco
World Spirits Competition. When you want to serve guests the perfect before-dinner
drink, Aperol should be your go-to option.
Aperol became popular in Italy after World War II, particularly among young
adults. During the '50s, the famous Aperol Spritz recipe was born, and it
remains the ideal cocktail to serve alongside roasted meats and other dishes.
It is now produced by the Campari company, but unlike Campari, Aperol is less
bitter with a lower alcohol content. For anyone requiring a gentle introduction
to apéritif, Aperol is the best choice.
The lovely apéritif is light on the nose with hints of orange, which
continue on the palate. The first taste is sweet before giving way to a slight
bitterness on the finish. Orange remains clear throughout, with rhubarb aromas
coming through at the end. To make the classic Aperol Spritz, first buy Aperol
online through Drizly. Then, combine three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol and
one splash of soda over ice and garnish with an orange slice.

Foxy Aperol Spritz
A sparkling wine-based cocktail traditionally served in the northern part of Italy during "apertif hour". Essential to the spritz is an Italian bitter orange liqueur such as Aperol, which is in the same family as Campari but a little less bitter and a little more refined. This Simple Aperol Spritz is fairly low in alcohol, luckily, because it goes down a little too easily! Cin cin!
Minty Spritz
This minty spritz is twist on the insanely popular Aperol Spritz. A low-alcohol cocktail means you can enjoy more than one and not overindulge. We love this classic aperitif for the holidays because of the bright, bold colors and distinctive flavor.
