Description
Aperol Sour isn´t as famous as other cocktails, an insider tip for everyone who likes sours and Aperol. It's an orange-colored mixture that consists of lemon, orange and grapefruit juice and doesn't contain excessive amounts of alcohol.
The taste of Aperol Sour is fruity and faintly sour, with bitter aromas of Aperol and pleasant orange flavor. This palatable cocktail looks very appealing with a cocktail cherry.
A light drink for nice get-togethers in the evening or lazy afternoons in a deckchair.

Decoration / Serving
There are many good options to present Aperol-Sour.
Tumbler glasses are most appropriate for Aperol-Sour. Martini glasses or cocktail saucers are eye-catching alternatives. A cocktail cherry belongs into the glass. Further decorations of lemon or orange are quite popular but it's not a requirement.
A good presentation and an adequate environment are as important as the taste of cocktails. Use our decoration tool to test different decorations and glasses.
