Aperol Liqueur for Spritz

Description

Aperol Spritz: the perfect Italian pairing for sparkling aperitifs

Fancy making an iconic Italian cocktail? This set combines a 70 cl bottle of Aperol with a 75 cl bottle of Prosecco – two essential ingredients for making a Spritz. Their complementary flavours create a cocktail with a vibrant colour, refreshing bubbles and a balanced blend of fruitiness, sweetness and bitterness.

An aperitif with a unique character

Aperol brings notes of orange, citrus and aromatic herbs to the cocktail, along with its characteristic slight bitterness. Its intense colour immediately gives the Spritz its recognisable appearance. It pairs perfectly with Prosecco, an Italian sparkling wine that adds a fruity freshness and delicate effervescence.

A cocktail that’s easy to make at home

The traditional recipe is simple to remember: three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol and one part sparkling water. Pour the Prosecco into a large wine glass, add the Aperol, then the sparkling water. Top up with ice cubes and a slice of fresh orange. The result is a bright and refreshing cocktail, ideal for starting a meal or enjoying with friends.

Delicious pairings to make the most of your aperitif

The Aperol Spritz pairs naturally with Italian specialities. Serve it with tomato bruschetta, olives, breadsticks, antipasti or small pieces of Parmesan. Its freshness also complements savoury nibbles and Mediterranean dishes.

The set includes the two main bottles needed to make the cocktail; you’ll simply need to provide sparkling water, ice cubes and a fresh orange. The proportions can be adjusted to suit individual tastes, for a Spritz that’s fruitier or with a more pronounced bitterness.

Handy for entertaining, this Aperol and Prosecco set also makes a great gift idea for lovers of Italian cocktails and sparkling aperitifs.
