Aperol Spritz, the iconic orange drink
Its unmistakable orange and fresh bittersweet taste light up your toasts and add extra joy to the moment.
This bubbly-and-bitter cocktail has been an Italian favorite for decades
Often described as an Italian sunset in a glass, the Aperol Spritz originated in the city of Padua and has become one of the most famous cocktails from Italy. The Aperol liqueur became a beloved apéritif in Padua and out of its rising popularity the Aperol Spritz was born during the chic 1950s in Northern Italy.
The history of Aperol Spritz began almost 110 years ago, back in 1912. That year marks the beginning of the recipe’s experimentation to create the Aperol. Brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri, owners of a liqueur company based in Padua, wanted to create a unique aperitif. In 1919, seven years after the experimentation started, the brothers finally found the perfect mix and balance of ingredients and invented Aperol. Its bittersweet taste and orange color derive from a secret recipe. The specific ingredients are a mystery, but what is known is that it includes an infusion of oranges, herbs and roots perfectly balanced together. The recipe has remained unchanged since its invention.
The popularity of the new liqueur increased after World War I. During that time, Aperol started to be consumed particularly in two Italian cities located in the Veneto Region: Padua and Venice. It wasn’t until the ‘50 that the recipe of Aperol Spritz as we know it today was invented. In those years, the first Aperol TV commercial (named “Il Carosello”) was released. In the ‘80, the new aperitif became famous all over Italy and then internationally.
In December 2003, Aperol was acquired by the Campari Group, which began a strong advertising campaign behind Aperol Spritz. Between 2000 and 2008, Aperol became even more popular in Italy and all around the world thanks to communication campaigns focused on art, music, and lifestyle. In 2011, Aperol Spritz became an official IBA (International Bartenders Association) cocktail. In 2019, Aperol proudly celebrated its 100 birthday. Today, it continues to be one of the most popular aperitifs in Italy.
