What is Aperol aperitif?
Aperol aperitif is a bittersweet Italian aperitif liqueur, known for its vivid orange colour and citrus-led, gently herbal flavour. It is commonly used in mixed drinks rather than served as a straight pour.
In Italy, it is closely associated with the pre-dinner aperitivo, especially the Aperol Spritz, usually served over ice with sparkling wine, soda and an orange slice. Elsewhere, including in English-speaking countries, it is often enjoyed the same way at bars or at home, alongside olives, crisps or other salty snacks. Nutritionally, it contributes carbohydrates from its sweetened liqueur base: 100 g contains 15 g of carbohydrates. For a lighter-tasting drink, add more soda and plenty of ice.
