Begin with the spritz, then explore
Aperol Spritz combines Prosecco, Aperol, and soda water. Aperol on the Rocks is a simple pour over ice, while Aperol Torino adds sweet vermouth. Archangel pairs Aperol with gin and cucumber. These serves give you several ways to use the same bottle without presenting duplicate names for the same spritz as different recipes.
Aperol in shaken cocktails
Paper Plane combines bourbon, Amaro Nonino, Aperol, and lemon. Naked & Famous pairs mezcal, yellow Chartreuse, Aperol, and lime; Division Bell uses mezcal, maraschino liqueur, Aperol, and lime. The liqueurs in these recipes have distinct flavors and are not interchangeable. Check your bottles before starting, measure the citrus, and follow the shaking method. For the spritz, chill the wine and soda and build gently to preserve the bubbles.
