Aperol is the quintessential Italian aperitivo and the heart of the Aperol Spritz, now in a half bottle that is perfect for a weekend of spritzes or a first try. Created in Padua in 1919, this luminous orange aperitif is built on a secret recipe of bitter and sweet oranges, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona, kept deliberately light at 11% ABV. Zesty orange brightness meets a gentle bittersweet, herbal backbone and a velvety finish. Pour it over ice with prosecco and soda for the classic spritz.
