]]> Negroni and Aperol Spritz are some of the best summer cocktails and they’re both sweet and refreshing. And because both of the cocktails have Italian aperitifs as the main ingredient, many people think the Campari and Aperol are interchangeable, but they’re very different. So, what’s the difference between them?

Origins

Aperol originates from the Italian city of Padua in 1919 and 59 years later, Gaspare Campari, invented the bitter in Milan.

Colors

Both liqueurs are easy to spot because of their bright colors. Aperol is red-orange and Campari is a bright red. Campari’s red color used to come from carmine dye, which was derived from crushed cochineal insects. They stopped using the dye in 2006.

Taste

Aperol is sweeter than Campari and has hints of bitter orange and gentian and cinchona flowers. Campari is more bitter with hints of berries, rhubarb, and herbs.

Alcohol Contents

Aperol is only 11 percent ABV, except in Germany where it’s 15 percent ABV. Campari ranges from 20.5 percent to 28.5 percent ABV.

Uses

Aperol is more commonly used in lighter cocktails like Aperol Spritz, which has three parts Prosecco, two parts Aperol, and one part soda. Campari is used in stronger cocktails like Negroni and Americano, which have equal parts Campari.

]]> If you travel around Italy, in each cafe and restaurant you’ll notice a particular cocktail that everyone seems to be drinking. It’s red-orange and served in a large wine glass with ice and an orange slice. This cocktail is an Aperol Spritz, and it’s a delicious way to cool off during the hot summer months in Italy’s Mediterranean climate. Slightly sweet with a bitter aftertaste, this “aperitif” is usually drunk before a meal to get you in the mood to eat. Here’s how to make it.

You’ll need just four ingredients to start out. These are Aperol (specifically Aperol, not another liqueur), Prosecco, club soda or soda water, and an orange slice. You’ll also need a wine glass, ice, and a straw for the full experience.

The Aperol spritz is incredibly easy to make. Just pour equal parts Aperol and Prosecco over ice into your wine glass, then finish with a splash of club soda and drop in an orange slice. For more bitterness add more Aperol, and for more fizz and less alcohol add more sparkling water.

It’s okay to make some substitutions here if you need to. In particular, a different sparkling white wine could be used, and any kind of fizzy water. You can also skip the orange slice if you don’t have one on hand. Another common variation on this drink is the Campari spritz, which is much stronger and more bitter. You can also look around for other spritzes to try with other liqueurs, but Aperol is the most classic.

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Aperol
  • 1 bottle chilled Prosecco
  • ice
  • soda
  • orange slices

Instructions

To prepare this signature Italian cocktail you will need balloon glasses. Another way to go is wine glasses as well.

This recipe is meant for 8 to 11 servings, which means you can enjoy it with your whole family or a group of friends. Simply get the number of glasses that you need and you’re ready to go.

Fill each glass with ice cubes. The Aperol and Prosecco should be in equal parts. Most recipes suggest a ratio of 3:2:1 Prosecco:Aperol:soda, but this one is much more authentic and allows you to better experience the taste of Aperol.

When you’re done with the first step, you can simply top up the glasses with soda. Use the orange slices to decorate the Aperol Spritz.
