Aperol is Italy's beloved bright-orange aperitif, created in 1919 by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri in Padua, Italy. Crafted from a secret recipe of gentian, rhubarb, cinchona, and other select herbs and roots, Aperol delivers a uniquely bittersweet flavor with a light, refreshing character. At just 11% ABV, it was designed to be the perfect pre-dinner drink — light enough to stimulate the appetite without overwhelming the palate. Aperol's vibrant color and approachable taste have made the Aperol Spritz a global cocktail phenomenon.

This 750ml bottle from Full Stop is your ticket to an endless Italian summer in Des Moines — the essential ingredient for Aperol Spritz season.
