The iconic Italian bitter aperitif at 25% ABV, crafted from a secret blend of bitter herbs, aromatic plants and fruit since 1860. Vibrant red with notes of bitter orange, rhubarb and herbaceous spice — the beating heart of a Negroni or Americano. If you love Aperol's Italian aperitivo spirit and its spritz-ready bittersweet character, Campari is the natural next step. It shares the same vivid colour, citrus-forward profile and deep-rooted Italian heritage, but dials up the bitterness and complexity for a more grown-up, layered experience. You'll find it works just as effortlessly over ice with Prosecco and soda, but also opens up a whole world of classic cocktails — the Negroni and Americano being the most iconic. If you're ready to explore beyond Aperol's sweeter lane, this is your bottle.
A Venetian aperitivo born in 1920, crafted from 30 botanicals including juniper berries and rhubarb root at 17.5% ABV. Deep ruby red with fresh, resinous notes — bittersweet, less sweet than Aperol, and the authentic base of the Original Venetian Spritz. Select sits in exactly the same taste world as Aperol — a low-ABV, bittersweet Italian aperitivo built for spritzing — but brings a deeper, richer complexity thanks to its 30-botanical recipe. Customers consistently describe it as less sweet than Aperol and more structured, making it a brilliant lateral move if you want something a little more sophisticated. You serve it the same way: two parts Select, three parts Prosecco, a splash of soda — just swap in a green olive instead of an orange slice. It's the Venetian answer to the Paduan original, and a genuinely exciting discovery.
A modern Italian rosolio liqueur at 20% ABV, built on authentic Calabrian bergamot with camomile, lavender, gentian and lemon balm. Lightly citrusy on the nose with ripe citrus fruit on the palate, a floral bitter spice and a long, elegant finish. You clearly love the Italian aperitivo ritual — the citrus-bright, spritz-friendly style that makes pre-dinner drinking an occasion. Italicus lives squarely in that world, but takes it somewhere entirely unexpected: instead of bitter orange and herbs, it leads with fragrant bergamot and flowers, giving you a floral, perfumed twist on the aperitivo format. Served 50/50 with Prosecco over ice, it makes a stunning Italicus Spritz that turns heads. If Aperol is your weeknight go-to, think of Italicus as your weekend discovery — a conversation-starting bottle that stays true to the Italian spirit of the aperitivo hour.
What makes Aperol Aperitivo distinctive?
Aperol is made to a secret recipe unchanged since 1919 by the Barbieri brothers in Padua — bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona at just 11% ABV. The colour is vivid sunset orange and the taste is entirely its own: sweet yet bitter, citrus-forward, refreshing when built into an Aperol Spritz (3 parts Prosecco, 2 parts Aperol, 1 splash soda, orange slice). Now the world's best-selling aperitivo, it's also excellent in a Negroni variant or served over ice with orange.
