What is Aperol Spritz made of?

Are Aperol and Campari the same?
Although both are owned by the Campari Group, these bitter, brightly colored aperitifs are different spirits with distinct flavors. The star of Campari Spritz, Campari is a bright cherry red color with a strong bittersweet and herbal flavor. It also has more alcohol than Aperol. Aperol is a great introduction to amaros, Italy’s famous bitter alcohol. Made with gentian, rhubarb, and cinchona, it has a slightly bittersweet and citrus flavor. Drinking something like this straight can be a little harsh, so it’s a great way to enjoy a spritz.
