- Light seafood dishes, such as shrimp cocktail, oysters, or grilled white fish, compliment Aperols bright citrus flavours. The drink’s crispness and herbal undertones provide a refreshing contrast to the delicate flavours of seafood.
- Beneath the citrus, Aperol features a subtle layer of herbs, including hints of rhubarb and other botanicals, which contribute to its distinctive, slightly bitter finish. The bitterness is not intense, making it accessible even for those not typically fond of bitter liqueurs.
