Aperol has become such a popular summer drink that many of the big name supermarkets are now selling cheaper versions (Image: Emily Collis/BirminghamLive) Promotion Period: The "Promotion Period" opens at 00:01 on 25th November 2019 and closes at 23:59 on 29th February 2020 or when all 5000 glasses available have been claimed. All entries outside of this period will not be valid. You can skip this if you don’t have it, but an orange slice is the classic garnish for an Aperol spritz. Aperol – now by far the most popular spritz liqueur around the world – was invented in the nearby city of Padova in 1919 by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri after seven years of experiments, macerating sour orange peels, gentian root, rhubarb and spices in their father's distillery. It was first advertised in the 1920s to drinkers who wanted to stay fit because of its low alcohol level (11%), and to women in the 1930s with the slogan, " Signora! Aperol keeps you thin". By the '80s, it was dirt-cheap and appreciated by regulars at every local bar in the Veneto region, creating a sort of spritz archipelago in the Po Valley, where the cities of Padova, Venice, Treviso and Vicenza would carry on the tradition, each with their own slightly different recipe. Loris Contro, Italian Brands Ambassador for Campari UK says the liqueur ‘is best enjoyed during aperitivo hour, when celebrating the end of the workday with friends, along with delicious Italian ‘cicchetti’ (which are small plates, similar to tapas).
No Prosecco. "We like to use traditional white wine from Veneto with Aperol," says Tom Ross from Polpo. "Then top with soda water and garnish with an olive and slice of lemon. You can use Campari instead of Aperol if that's more to your taste."

The Promoter will immediately disqualify any entrant who is tampering with the entry process. Want to know how to make an Aperol Spritz?

Any unflavored sparkling water will work.

Keep in mind that Aperol is on the bitter side. Salty, creamy/fatty and sweet foods take the edge off bitter flavors. A proper Aperol spritz tastes like summertime in Italy and looks like a golden orange sunset. I’ll gladly sip one on our front porch now, overlooking our overgrown front yard, and later, with a view of the Italian Riviera. Originating from Italy in 1919, Aperol is an aperitif commonly enjoyed before a meal and particularly when the weather is warm, enjoyed as a spritz. The name Aperol comes from the word origin apero which is a French slang word for aperitif.
Valid Bottles: The promotion is valid for promotional 70cl Aperol Spritz bottles featuring the offer "FREE GLASS GIVEAWAY – FIRST 5000 TO CLAIM”. Like most of the own brands we found, Aperol has a strength of 11%. It was the recognisable apéritif I'd tasted many times before - reddish-orange in colour and bitter, sweet and fruity in taste. It had an almost coppery flavour, but enjoyed in my sunny garden, it was undeniably refreshing. It tasted like summer and, in all honesty, I was doubtful any of the others would compare.

The brand describes the flavors as, “zesty orange with complex herbal scents harmonized with a touch of vanilla.” Look for Aperol near the liqueurs or amaros at the liquor store. 2) ProseccoIt's also the Marmite of the alcohol world. Poll your friends and it's pretty much guaranteed half of them will say it's their absolute favourite beer garden beverage, while the rest will pull a face and say it tastes like cough medicine. The generally accepted ratio is equal parts Aperol and Prosecco plus a splash of club soda. However, you can play around with the ratio until your Aperol spritz tastes exactly the way you like it. I like mine with a little more Prosecco than Aperol. Make it less bitter While Prosecco and soda water is the classic mix, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy Aperol.
