About Aperol Aperitivo Aperol is the sweeter, less bitter, lower ABV cousin of Campari. But, don't confuse its approachability with weakness! Like it's more intense cousin, Aperol is an essential component of every cocktail lover's homebar. From the Spritz to the Paper Plane to the Ten Spot, it can shine as either lead guitar or second fiddle. Its more subtle features can lend the same distinctive, citrusy bitterness of Campari without stealing the show. Interestingly, Aperol was first introduced in 1919 by the Barbieri brothers, who were looking for a new product to add to their range of liqueurs. They came up with Aperol as a lighter and more refreshing alternative to the bitter digestifs that were popular at the time. Tasting Notes Aperol Aperitivo has a bright orange color and a distinct bittersweet flavor. On the nose, it offers hints of orange peel, rhubarb, and herbs. On the palate, it is refreshing and slightly sweet, with a delicate bitterness that lingers on the finish. Suggested Serves Too many cocktailers fail to dust off this orange beauty unless making the famous spritz.
