📜 History

As the Aperol Spritz conquered the world's terraces, bartenders began exploring other ways to showcase the iconic orange aperitivo. The Aperol Sour applies the classic sour template—spirit, citrus, sweet, egg white—to Aperol, creating a more cocktail-forward experience with a beautiful orange foam top. It's become a staple for those who love Aperol but want something more substantial.
