Our Take on Aperol
At DubaiBottles, we believe that some drinks capture the spirit of a place. Aperol captures the essence of Italian summer in every sip. This bright‑orange aperitif has been at the heart of Italian social life since 1919.
This exceptional aperitif is crafted from a secret recipe. Selected herbs, roots, and citrus are carefully blended. Bitter and sweet oranges, gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona are among the key ingredients. The result is a perfectly balanced bittersweet taste that’s both refreshing and sophisticated. With its low alcohol content (11% ABV), Aperol is the ultimate choice for the classic Aperol Spritz. It’s also perfect in a vibrant Negroni or simply enjoyed over ice with soda.
Whether you’re hosting a summer gathering, enjoying a sunset aperitivo, or bringing a taste of Italy to your Dubai home, Aperol is the perfect way to start any occasion.

Serving Tips from Our Cellar
Aperol is best enjoyed well‑chilled. Store it in the fridge for a few hours before serving, or serve over plenty of ice. For the perfect Aperol Spritz, fill a large wine glass with ice. Add 60 ml of Aperol, 90 ml of prosecco, and a splash of soda water. Garnish with a slice of orange. If you’re ordering delivery in Dubai, we recommend chilling it as soon as it arrives for the perfect serving temperature.
The Story Behind Aperol
Aperol was created in 1919 by the Barbieri brothers in Padua, Italy. The name “Aperol” was inspired by the French word “apéro,” meaning aperitif. This recipe was designed to be light, refreshing, and low in alcohol. It remains a closely guarded secret to this day. It was the perfect way to whet the appetite before a meal.
Quickly becoming a favourite in the Veneto region, Aperol eventually spread across Italy and the world. Today, its vibrant colour, bittersweet taste, and ability to bring people together are celebrated worldwide. This is a taste of Italian tradition that has become a global icon.
