About Aperol
Aperol is a vibrant Italian liqueur with 11% ABV (22 proof), produced by Campari America, known for its signature bright orange hue and bittersweet profile. Crafted from bitter and sweet oranges, rhubarb, and botanicals, it offers a lighter, more approachable alternative to bolder aperitifs like Campari, which has nearly double the alcohol content. What makes Aperol special is its perfect balance of gentle bitterness, citrus sweetness, and low alcohol, ideal for casual aperitivo hours. It's for social drinkers, young adults, and cocktail enthusiasts seeking refreshing, easy-sipping drinks without heaviness. In its category of bittersweet liqueurs, Aperol stands out as a gateway spirit—less intense and more versatile, especially in spritzes—while remaining affordable at $22.50 for 750ml (also available in 375ml and 1000ml). Its global phenomenon status stems from embodying Italian leisure and conviviality.
