Aperol appears as a central ingredient across multiple cocktails that balance bitterness, sweetness, herbal notes, smokiness, and citrus. Recipes include the Paper Plane, combining bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon, shaken and strained; an Aperol-forward mix with elderflower liqueur and lime; the classic Aperol Spritz with Prosecco, soda, and orange; a Negroni-like gin, Aperol, and Cocchi Americano variation; and a mezcal-Chartreuse-Aperol riff inspired by The Last Word. Measurements and preparation methods specify shaking with ice, straining, and serving over ice or in coupe and wine glasses.
