Discover Aperol Spritz
Aperol is a masterpiece of alchemy, distinguished by its vibrant, unmistakable orange colour. Created by Silvio and Luigi Barbieri in 1919, after inheriting their father’s liqueur company, Aperol’s sweet and bitter flavor captivated taste buds across Europe. However, it was the Aperol Spritz, established in the 1950’s that cemented Aperol’s status as a global cocktail icon.
Since the 1950s, the Aperol Spritz has been the quintessential cocktail for the Italian tradition of Aperitivo hour. This cherished ritual is a celebration of friends, family, and connection—a time to unwind after work with low-ABV cocktails and lively conversation with loved ones.
The Aperol Spritz is a globally celebrated and enjoyed cocktail with an incredibly simple recipe accessible for the cocktail bar, local pub, or the home bartender. Here in Australia, the Spritz is enjoyed year round but truly takes over during the grand slam event, The Australian Open.
So grab your racquet and let’s deliver the perfect Aperol serve!
