Aperol adds zest to any drink with its vibrant orange color and bittersweet taste. Its bittersweet orange flavor makes it a delicious addition to an array of cocktails, including the Aperol Spritz and Negroni. The secret recipe used to make Aperol involves 40 different herbs and plants native to Italy's Veneto region, as well as natural ingredients such as gentian, rhubarb and cinchona that give it a distinctively bitter taste as well as a vibrant orange hue.

Its distinctive bitter orange character comes from the inclusion of gentian, rhubarb and cinchona, all of which add a bitter taste to balance against the sweetness of the other ingredients. On your tongue, the blend of sweet and bitter is contrasted with a progressive dry, spicy sensation over time.
