What Is Aperol?
Aperol is a delicious orange flavored liqueur. It is an aperitivo liquid that is distinct in color and taste. It is the perfect blend of sweet and bitter all together. The flavor is very delicious, however it is strong, so when using it in cocktails make sure to be very sparing with the amount!
