Aperol Spritz

Aperol, a bright orange aperitif, is the star of the iconic Aperol Spritz cocktail. Originally created in Italy in 1919, it combines bitter and sweet flavors, making it a refreshing drink often served with prosecco and soda water. The Aperol brand is owned by Campari Group, which was established in 1860. While the Aperol Spritz is immensely popular worldwide, its roots trace back to the Veneto region of Italy, where it was designed as a refreshing beverage to be enjoyed during social gatherings. The vibrant combination of bitter and sweet with citrus notes has solidified its status as a quintessential Italian aperitif.
