Aperol Spritz, a Classic Italian Beverage
Beth Ribblett
While you can order an Aperol Spritz just about anywhere in Italy, its beginnings are in the north. It is particularly popular in Venice and Verona where it is the aperitivo drink of choice. It's bright orange color is unmistakable and while it is served in a variety of different glassware, the recipe remains the same. This is the classic recipe from Aperol, the company who has produced this low alcohol spirit since 1919. We'll be serving these at our first Aperitivo Thursday this week at Swirl. Come over and try one with a complimentary plate of snack from our friends at Good Eggs!
