What to ACTUALLY make with Aperol

What exactly is an aperitif—and why do you drink it before dinner? In this episode, John Sr. and Johnny break down the Italian classic Aperol, starting with the iconic Aperol Spritz, then showing how this bright, bittersweet liqueur can transform two more cocktails: the Aperol Negroni and the modern favorite, the Paper Plane. From learning the perfect 3-2-1 ratio for your spritz, to discovering why Aperol makes a Negroni smoother, to shaking up a balanced Paper Plane with bourbon and Meletti—this video will show you exactly how to dust off that bottle of Aperol and put it to good use. Whether you’re a cocktail novice or a seasoned drinker looking for fresh ways to use your aperitifs, this is your complete guide to mixing, balancing, and understanding what makes these before-dinner drinks so special. 00:00 – What is an Aperitif? 01:00 – Judging the Aperol Spritz 03:10 – Aperol Negroni 05:15 – Paper Plane Our Socials Tik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@johnrondi?
