Did you know, Aperol has been accompanying Aperitivo hours across Italy for more than 100 years? Developed by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri in 1919 in Padua, Italy, the distinctive Aperol taste remains true to the original recipe, developed over a century ago.
It’s signature bright orange colour and unique taste is thanks to an oh-so-secret recipe, which has never been changed and is only known to a handful of people! What we are told, however, is that Aperol is infused with select ingredients including bitter and sweet oranges, rhubarb and gentian, combined with herbs and roots.
Craving a Spritz now, but short on time or bench space? Enter Aperol’s newest creation! The warm summer afternoon staple can now be easily poured, served, and enjoyed without any hassle thanks to Aperol’s Ready to Serve bottles. Enjoy the perfect quantities every time with these genius cocktails in a bottle. Just pop and pour over ice to fill your glass with that bittersweet, refreshing taste and unmistakable orange vibrancy. Those unexpected catch ups, a casual Sunset Spritz with your housemate, and picnics in the park or BBQs with friends just got easier.
Like any classic Italian Aperitivo, the Aperol Spritz Ready to Serve is best enjoyed the way Italian’s intended, with delicious food and great company!
You’ll be able to enjoy Aperol’s cute, Ready to Serve bottles yourself throughout Subi Spritz events including at the Aperol Pop Up Lounge at The Great Graze, or accompanied with snacks at The Long, Long Lunch.
Want to recreate the magic of a refreshing Spritz on your own? Perfecting your own Spritz is as simple as 1,2,3.

Garnish with an orange wedge and enjoy!
