Aperol
Aperol is an iconic Italian aperitif known for its bright orange hue and refreshing, slightly bitter flavor profile. Created in 1919 in Padua, Italy, Aperol is crafted from a secret blend of botanicals, including bitter and sweet oranges, rhubarb, and herbs, which give it its distinctive taste. Its lower alcohol content (around 11% ABV) makes it a light and approachable drink, perfect for casual sipping or as a pre-dinner refreshment.
The flavor of Aperol is characterized by a balance of sweet citrus and mild bitterness, with hints of orange zest, herbal undertones, and a touch of vanilla. This refreshing combination makes it the star ingredient in the famous Aperol Spritz, where it is typically mixed with prosecco and a splash of soda water, served over ice with an orange slice.
Aperol is best enjoyed in spritzes or cocktails, where its bittersweet character shines. Its versatility and vibrant, summery appeal have made it a staple in Italian aperitivo culture and a favorite worldwide for those seeking a light, flavorful drink.
