Aperol Subheading

Aperol; Is it the perfect aperitif?

You could make the case that Aperol is the single most popular aperitif in the world today and why wouldn’t it be? It’s light, refreshing, low alcohol, colourful and delicious!

All the way back in 1919, the Barbieri brothers presented a bright orange liqueur named Aperol to the International Fair of Padua. With its bittersweet characteristics being wholeheartedly embraced by the Italians, the brothers saw an opportunity to take Aperol to the next level and brought in the missing ingredient… From here, the Prosecco spritz entered the party and thus the iconic brightly coloured, zesty and fruit-forward Aperol Spritz was born.
