Aperol Spritz 3-pack

The Aperol Spritz tastes both bitter and sweet, with a distinct orange note. The base is Aperol, an Italian bitter liqueur from Campari. Its recipe combines rhubarb, cinchona bark, gentian, bitter oranges, and herbs. This is also where the bright orange color comes from, by which you can immediately recognize a Spritz.

Prosecco brings perlage and a fine fruitiness to the glass. A splash of soda water makes the Aperol Spritz leaner and more sparkling. The tart tones of gentian and cinchona bark keep the sweetness in balance. This keeps the Spritz fresh and drinkable instead of sticky.

With 10.5% vol, the Aperol Spritz is in the moderate range. The finish is tart-fruity, with an aftertaste of bitter orange and rhubarb. Aperol is produced according to an unchanged original recipe from natural ingredients. The manufacturer is Campari; the roots of the liqueur lie in the Veneto region.

The Aperol Spritz is a classic aperitif for the time before a meal. In Italy, it is part of the Aperitivo, the social gathering in the early evening. Salty snacks go well with it. Olives, salted almonds, breadsticks, focaccia, or thinly sliced ham have proven to be good choices. Crostini with tomato or a mild hard cheese also pick up the bitter-sweet balance well.

The Aperol Spritz is particularly popular in the warm months. It fits on the terrace, for a barbecue evening, or on a long summer afternoon on the balcony. The screw cap makes opening uncomplicated, even for a picnic in the park. With the 3-pack, you have a small supply for the next round with friends.

Serve the Aperol Spritz in a wine glass with plenty of ice. A slice of orange complements the bitter orange note and visually enhances the glass. If you mix it yourself, put Prosecco first and then Aperol into the glass. The ratio is about 3:2. Finally, add a splash of soda water.
