General Information

Aperol Aperitivo is an iconic Italian liqueur, known from the world-famous Aperol Spritz. This bittersweet aperitif was developed in 1919 in Padua and has since become an international symbol of Italian aperitivo culture. Aperol contains a carefully balanced mix of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb, and secret herbs, and has a low alcohol content of 11%. The bright orange color and fresh taste make it a popular choice for summer moments and light cocktails.

Fun Fact

Although often associated with the Spritz, Aperol was originally intended as a light, medicinal tonic. It only grew into a lifestyle drink in Italy in the 1950s. Today, Aperol is inseparable from European terraces and is sold in more than 100 countries – always with the same distinctive color and recipe.
