Spirit-based aperitifs

With the rise of bottles such as Aperol, an Italian bitter orange aperitif made from bitter orange, low-proof, bitter spirit-based aperitifs like Campari have become popular in the US thanks to mixologists’ embrace. Pimm’s No. 1, an English aperitif made with gin, has subtle spice and citrus flavors, and Cynar, made with 13 herbs and plants, including artichokes, is another spirit-based aperitif.
