What You Do
First appeared in the 1950s as an Italian alternative to white wine spritzers; combining the unique Italian aperitivo, ‘Aperol’ with sparkling wine and club soda to create a soft, flavoursome and effervescent drink –served on ice and garnished with fresh orange. It quickly became a cultural phenomenon. The singular bright orange hue became seen in bars and patios all over Italy (and soon) across the world. A low alcohol cocktail of signature bittersweet citrus aroma and flavour with inimitably refreshing character. A wine glass or wine tumbler is traditional but use any glass you wish!
