Product Information

The generally accepted ratio is equal parts Aperol and Prosecco plus a splash of club soda. However, you can play around with the ratio until your Aperol spritz tastes exactly the way you like it. I like mine with a little more Prosecco than Aperol. Make it less bitter Aperol brings people together and is the perfect drink to start the evening, all year round. The drink matches perfectly with food: the Aperitivo ritual born in Veneto sees the Aperol Spritz served with some traditional light bites called ''cicchetti', small dishes that usually include tiny sandwiches, olives and small portions of local dishes. Try it at home! You can skip this if you don’t have it, but an orange slice is the classic garnish for an Aperol spritz. The aperol spritz is commonly served as an apéritif. Apéritifs are designed to be served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. They’re typically lightly alcoholic and more dry than sweet.

I, for one, find the Aperol spritz to be entirely delightful. Both articles are written with the assumption that you have tried an Aperol spritz, but what if you haven’t?

Aperol was created by the Barbieri brothers and launched in 1919 at the Padua International Fair, soon becoming one of Italy's favorite liqueurs, now taking the world by storm. The original recipe has remain unchanged since 1919. Aperol has got to be the ultimate summer drink. Possibly a controversial opinion, but give me a big cold glass of that bitter orange fizz over a Pimm's any day. It's a big loss for humanity," said Pasini. The olive garnish adds a touch of salt that tempers the sweetness, especially if you don't rinse the brine. And any serious bartender in Venice would add a full olive with the pit, which is part of the culture of the drink in the city. "There is always that awkward moment when you don't know where to put the pit," conceded Cozzella. "On the napkin? Next to the chips?"Promotion Period: The "Promotion Period" opens at 00:01 on 25th November 2019 and closes at 23:59 on 29th February 2020 or when all 5000 glasses available have been claimed.

Like most of the own brands we found, Aperol has a strength of 11%. It was the recognisable apéritif I'd tasted many times before - reddish-orange in colour and bitter, sweet and fruity in taste. It had an almost coppery flavour, but enjoyed in my sunny garden, it was undeniably refreshing. It tasted like summer and, in all honesty, I was doubtful any of the others would compare. Asda ApertiniAperol – now by far the most popular spritz liqueur around the world – was invented in the nearby city of Padova in 1919 by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri after seven years of experiments, macerating sour orange peels, gentian root, rhubarb and spices in their father's distillery. It was first advertised in the 1920s to drinkers who wanted to stay fit because of its low alcohol level (11%), and to women in the 1930s with the slogan, " Signora! Aperol keeps you thin". By the '80s, it was dirt-cheap and appreciated by regulars at every local bar in the Veneto region, creating a sort of spritz archipelago in the Po Valley, where the cities of Padova, Venice, Treviso and Vicenza would carry on the tradition, each with their own slightly different recipe. It came second in our taste test. There was a really rich caramel and orange flavour. When you shut your eyes and smelt it, you could imagine it warm at Christmas time quite easily. Loris Contro, Italian Brands Ambassador for Campari UK says the liqueur ‘is best enjoyed during aperitivo hour, when celebrating the end of the workday with friends, along with delicious Italian ‘cicchetti’ (which are small plates, similar to tapas).

It’s just a splash, but don’t be tempted to skimp on the soda in your Aperol Spritz as it works wonders for the finished drink.“By adding soda water, we replace the carbonation that gets lost whilst pouring Prosecco and stirring the drink.
