Aperol

Bright. Breezy. Irresistibly Italian.
Few drinks capture the essence of Italian life quite like Aperol. Born in Padua in 1919, this iconic aperitif has become a symbol of togetherness, sunshine, and the art of slow living. Its vibrant orange hue, bittersweet flavour, and lively personality are instantly recognisable — whether you’re enjoying it on a terrace in Venice or a garden in Ireland.

Crafted from a secret recipe of bitter and sweet oranges, rhubarb, herbs, and roots, Aperol is a masterclass in balance. Light and refreshing, with an alcohol content of just 11%, it offers a bright, citrusy freshness that makes it irresistible both on its own and in cocktails. The signature Aperol Spritz has become a global ritual — an invitation to pause, laugh, and share a moment of joy with friends.

Aperol isn’t just a drink; it’s a celebration of Italian aperitivo culture — that magical hour between day and night when conversations flow as easily as the bubbles in your glass. For those in Ireland, it brings a taste of summer on the Amalfi Coast, no matter the season.

Why we love it:
Aperol is sunshine in a glass. With its gentle bitterness, sweet orange zest, and refreshing finish, it’s approachable, playful, and versatile. It’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser — equally at home in a bustling city bar or your own back garden on a sunny day. And that signature Spritz? An essential summer ritual.
