The most iconic pairing for Aperol is in the Aperol Spritz Aperol, Prosecco, and a splash of soda water, served over ice with a slice of orange. This drink is perfect for warm-weather occasions or as a refreshing pre-dinner drink.

• The first impression of Aperol is its zesty, citrus-forward taste. Bitter orange is the standout note, offering a fresh and tangy profile, accompanied by a subtle sweetness making it smooth to sip.
• Aperol goes well with light snacks like a cheese platter or charcuterie. The bitterness of Aperol balances out the richness of creamy cheeses, while it's citrusy notes compliment cured meats like prosciutto or salami.
• Light seafood dishes, such as shrimp cocktail, oysters, or grilled white fish, compliment Aperol’s bright citrus flavours. The drink's crispness and herbal undertones provide a refreshing contrast to the delicate flavours of seafood.
• Beneath the citrus, Aperol features a subtle layer of herbs, including hints of rhubarb and other botanicals, which contribute to its distinctive, slightly bitter finish. The bitterness is not intense, making it accessible even for those not typically fond of bitter liqueurs.

Aperol Aperitivo is a versatile, light liqueur that shines in cocktails like the Aperol Spritz, but it can also be enjoyed on its own or paired with a wide variety of foods.
