Classic Aperol Spritz

Classic Aperol Spritz

Light, refreshing, and unmistakably Italian, the Aperol Spritz is an easy choice for Valentine’s evening. With its gentle bitterness, citrus notes, and lively bubbles, it works beautifully as an aperitif while you prepare dinner or sit down to your first course. Compared to many cocktails, an Aperol Spritz has a lower alcohol content, making it well suited to relaxed occasions.

The orange garnish adds brightness and aroma, while citrus fruits naturally contain flavonoids that have been widely studied for their antioxidant properties. Served ice-cold, it brings a casual elegance that feels right at home in a European-inspired Valentine’s menu.
