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