Aperol is an Italian bitter aperitif liqueur created in Padua, Italy in 1919. This special gift set includes a 750mL bottle of Aperol Aperitivo packaged with signature glassware for creating the perfect Aperol Spritz. Known for its vibrant orange color and bittersweet citrus flavor profile, Aperol is made from a secret blend of ingredients including bitter orange, vegetal gentian root, cinchona bark, rhubarb, and an array of herbs and spices totaling 16 botanical ingredients.

With an alcohol content of only 11% ABV, Aperol is lighter than most spirits, making it ideal for refreshing cocktails. The flavor is sophisticated and well-balanced, featuring notes of orange zest, essential citrus oils, vanilla, and subtle herbal bitterness. It tastes more bittersweet than conventionally bitter, offering a distinctive freshness and unmistakable aroma.

Aperol is the epitome of an aperitivo, the Italian tradition of enjoying a light drink before meals to open the appetite. It is most famously enjoyed in the Aperol Spritz cocktail, which has been ranked among the world's most popular cocktails. The classic recipe combines three parts prosecco, two parts Aperol, and one part soda water, served over ice with an orange slice. This gift set makes it easy to recreate the iconic Italian happy hour experience at home.
