Aperol and summer go together so effortlessly, and there are so many fun Aperol cocktails that you can make that aren't just a spritz! Here are a few of my favorites to try this summer.
What is Aperol?
Aperol is an Italian aperitif. It has a flavor profile of bittersweet orange, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona. The color is a classic orange-red that makes for such a fun and photo-worthy alcoholic beverage to sip on during the summertime.
It's a unique spirit for sure, that not everyone likes! Which is why I'm suggesting this delicious pineapple Aperol Spritz if you don't like the regular recipe. You may just need a bit of sweetness added to the drink, and that's exactly what the fresh pineapple juice does.
