Aperol is an Italian bitter aperitif.  Originally created in 1919 in Padua, Italy, Aperol features a unique bittersweet taste and bright orange color, both of which derive from the secret, original recipe that has remained unchanged for over a century.  It did not gain widespread popularity until after World War II.  An infusion of zesty orange, herbs and roots with a touch of vanilla make for a perfectly balanced combination and offers a texture that’s velvety and rounded with long-lasting orange flavor.  While very similar to Campari, it is much less bitter in taste.
