Frequently Asked Questions About Aperol cocktail
What is in an Aperol cocktail?
The classic Aperol cocktail, usually called an Aperol Spritz, contains Aperol, prosecco and soda water. It is poured over ice and commonly garnished with an orange slice. The bittersweet orange flavor is the drink’s signature.
How do you make an Aperol cocktail at home?
To make an Aperol cocktail, fill a large wine glass with ice, add prosecco and Aperol, then top with soda water and stir gently. Garnish with orange. Pouring it directly into the glass helps preserve the bubbles.
What is the ratio of Aperol to prosecco in an Aperol cocktail?
A common Aperol Spritz ratio is three parts prosecco, two parts Aperol and one part soda water. Add the ingredients over plenty of ice; reducing the Aperol makes the drink less bitter, while extra soda makes it lighter.
What is the difference between an Aperol cocktail and a Campari Spritz?
An Aperol cocktail is generally sweeter, fruitier and less bitter than a Campari Spritz. Campari has a more assertive bitter flavor and deeper color. Both are commonly mixed with prosecco, soda water and ice.
Where did the Aperol cocktail come from?
The best-known Aperol cocktail, the Aperol Spritz, is linked to the spritz tradition of Italy’s Veneto region. Aperol was introduced in Padua in 1919, and serving it with sparkling wine and soda became part of Italian aperitivo culture.
Which prosecco is best for an Aperol cocktail?
A dry or extra-dry prosecco works well in an Aperol cocktail because it balances Aperol’s bittersweet taste. A noticeably sweet sparkling wine can make the drink cloying, so choose a drier style if you want a fresher finish.
Why is an orange slice added to an Aperol cocktail?
An orange slice complements the citrus notes in an Aperol cocktail and is its familiar garnish. Add it to the glass or rest it on the rim; gently squeezing the peel over the drink releases extra aroma.
Can you make a non-alcoholic Aperol cocktail?
Yes, you can make a non-alcoholic drink inspired by an Aperol cocktail using alcohol-free sparkling wine or soda water and a bitter orange aperitif made without alcohol. It will not taste exactly like the original, and a drink containing Aperol is not alcohol-free.
What food goes well with an Aperol cocktail?
An Aperol cocktail pairs well with Italian aperitivo snacks such as olives, cheese, crackers and small savory bites. Their salty, light flavors complement the drink’s bittersweet citrus; very sweet or heavy foods can overwhelm its refreshing taste.
Can you drink an Aperol cocktail while pregnant?
No. An Aperol cocktail contains alcohol, and no amount of alcohol is known to be safe during pregnancy. Choose a genuinely alcohol-free alternative, and make sure it contains neither Aperol nor another alcoholic ingredient.

What is Aperol cocktail?
An Aperol cocktail is a bittersweet aperitif associated with Italy’s aperitivo tradition, especially in and around Venice. It is often served as a spritz, combining Aperol with sparkling wine and soda, though recipes vary. Chilled over plenty of ice and garnished with orange, it has a bright citrus flavour, gentle herbal bitterness and a lively, lightly fizzy texture.
In Italy it is commonly enjoyed before a meal with small savoury bites; elsewhere, it also suits a relaxed pre-dinner drink or a sunny gathering. Olives, crisps and mild cheeses pair well with it. It contains alcohol and provides about 120 calories per 100 g, so consider serving size; adding extra soda makes for a lighter-tasting drink.
