What does your next event and the Royal Wedding have in common? A show-stopping spectacle that keeps people talking. Adding some zest for your wedding guests, some zing to keep expo-goers lingering and some tang to the office year-end bang, is as simple as exploring the magical effects of Aperol Spritz.

What is Aperol Spritz?

Aperol Spritz was born just before the era of flappers, great gatsby culture and the end of prohibition. It’s safe to say this drink is one decent party starter. Aperol Spritz is an alcoholic cocktail originally developed in Italy in 1912. It is made of the “perfect aperitif” which took seven years to develop. This aperitif is a combination of key ingredients including oranges, herbs and roots. It’s signature style? A vibrant and bright orange colour. If you are a true taste connoisseur, you’ll appreciate the distinctive notes that makeup Aperol Spritz:

Nose

Zesty orange, vanilla, complex herbs and lightly alcoholic.

Body

Intensely orange, herbal, woody, pleasantly bittersweet and salty.

Texture

Velvety and rounded.

Back taste

Herbal and pleasant bitterness.

The Aperol Cocktail

Few things in this world taste better than a classic Aperol Spritz cocktail. The low alcohol percentage makes this drink perfect for happy hour which means you can have quite a few without having one too many. The sparkling and slightly bitter drink’s appeal comes from more than just its bright appearance. The cocktail contains superior ingredients like Prosecco and fresh orange slices. Coupled with refreshing sparkling water, ice cubes and (of course) the Aperol. It should really only be served in a large wine glass for that long-established Italian look.

Including Aperol in Your Event

Hosting an event? A low alcohol percentage coupled with a refreshing, unique taste makes Aperol Spritz perfect for your welcoming drinks. The dazzling orange Aperol attracts plenty attention. You’ll probably find your guests snapping pics of their drinks for some decent event Insta-exposure. Your event will be a buzz on the day and on social media for the next week.

This is especially true when the alluring cocktails are combined with an awesome activation. Just like these new mobile offerings from Thirst Bar Services:
