Capitoline Tiber Apertivo

You may know this crimson concoction from such classics as the Negroni (and its many forms) or the Jungle Bird, but how about with some fresh squeezed orange juice in a Girabaldi? It’s always bitter, like Stanley Hudson, but mix in something nice and it’ll show its true colors. Pretzel day!

Aperol is the Ross Geller of liqueurs - a little bitter and overlooked compared to its more popular sibling Campari. But just like Ross ended up being the best Friend, Aperol shines when used right in cocktails like the Aperol Spritz or Paper Plane. Makes us do a little "Pivot!" in our drinking habits.
