Aperitivo is a category of low-ABV Italian liqueurs traditionally enjoyed before meals to stimulate the appetite. Iconic brands like Aperol and Campari shaped the modern spritz culture worldwide. Shelf-stable, though best kept cool and sealed.
Bitter-sweet, herbal, sometimes citrusy.
Classic in spritzes and Negronis, but can also be used in light highballs or low-ABV cocktails.
