Americano
The low-proof forerunner to the Negroni: Campari and sweet vermouth lengthened with soda water.

Light, bubbly, and subtly bitter. A stunning orange aperitif that tastes like a vibrant Italian sunset.

Which should you pick?
Pick the Americano if you want something more straightforward and clean. Go with the Aperol Spritz if you'd rather have something herbal and aromatic. Both are bitter and complex and light and refreshing, so if you enjoy one you'll likely appreciate the other.
