    We like both - but we LOVE Aperol. One thing - when I visit family in Italia, they make their cocktails with blood orange soda, and it becomes EXQUISITE. Especially on a hot day when you're sitting outside after dinner... The bitterness of the Aperol sets off the San Pellegrino soooo well.

Blood Orange soda instead of soda water is awesome - BUT... if you want something a bit less sweet, try Pomegranate or Cranberry juice. Aperol is FUN to experiment with.

    Campari and I go way back, my favorite since the mid 80s. I grew up in Germany, where Italians have restaurants in every town. Love that bitter taste of Campari! When I was younger, I would drink it with orange juice. Now I prefer it with soda (not that I drink it that often).

    I just tried my first Negroni that my bartender friend made for me. He has a big fat book about the history of various cocktails and their ingredients. Coincidentally my sister recently moved to Italy. She suggested I try the Campari Spritz and the Aperol Spritz, and then let her know what I think. But this video was a great introduction!

    • @liberandco

      The history of cocktails can be very interesting! Lots of unique stories, though the older the cocktail, the more murky the history tends to be. Hope your sister likes Italy! Both of those Spritz's are super refreshing and tasty. Definitely worth trying. Thanks for the kind words!!

    Can you substitute a half ounce of Campari and a pinch of sugar for an ounce of Aperol?

    • @liberandco
      @liberandco  Před rokem

      We would try ¼ oz of Campari and ½ oz of orange liqueur as a substitute for 1 oz of Aperol. Campari brings substantially more bitterness than Aperol, and we find Aperol to bring a decidedly more orange-forward profile than Campari. We think this 2:1 orange liqueur:Campari blend could do the trick in a pinch at a slightly reduced total volume of ¾ oz. Let us know how it turns out!

  • @GabrielePastoreAlchemikal

    “Select” is another great option for Spritz and my personal favorite. I feel like it has more bitter/sweet balance than both Campari and Aperol. Spritz with Select is 99% of the times found in Venice, or places that want to offer something uniquely Venetian anywhere else.

    • @jimmechanikong6924
      @jimmechanikong6924 Před 3 lety

      The type you use for making old fashioned and such. Like angostura and peychauds have no sugar.. The kind you can drink straight like campari, Montenegro, meletti, etc... No they all have sugar to balance the bitterness.

    • @liberandco
      @liberandco  Před 3 lety

      We don't know of any bitters without sugar, although we haven't done an extensive search. Angostura lists sugar in their ingredients, and we know they have it, and we're pretty sure Peychaud's does as well. Manufacturers add sugar to help balance the flavor profile of their products. Without a small measure, the bitters would be super astringent and not nearly as well-rounded! Cheers, Chris

Do you like it and smiling and I was like, umm it´s different than what I expected...She said, it´s really nice isn´t it!
