Bitter orange apéritif | Cocktail Party

Bitter orange apéritif

Bottle of bitter orange apéritif, like Campari or Gran Classico

Don’t be fooled by the rosy citrus hue; this is an unparalleled bitter flavor. Campari is de rigueur in drinks that call for this ingredient, but Gran Classico and Luxardo Bitter are nearly as popular.

Aperol is a similar type of Italian bitter, but is much sweeter; you’ll find it listed as “Sweet orange apéritif” instead. If you’re flexible on bitterness or sweetness, you can typically use either one in most drinks that call for one or the other. Cappalletti is right in the middle between the two types – it’s as sweet as Aperol, and as bitter as Campari.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
