Aperol Glasses – Find the Right Glass for an Italian Spritz
For many, the vibrant orange hue of a freshly mixed Aperol Spritz is simply part of summer. Whether on warm evenings on the balcony, at a garden party with friends, or as an aperitif before dinner, this Italian classic looks especially great in the right glass. In Italy, the aperitivo is firmly rooted in the culture of enjoyment, and with the right glasses, you can bring that same relaxed bar vibe right into your home.
At Barmeister24, you’ll find a wide selection of Aperol glasses for every occasion. From classic balloon glasses to modern glass designs, there’s something for every taste. The various shapes of our Aperol glasses perfectly showcase the drink and offer plenty of room for ice cubes, Prosecco, Aperol, and soda.
What should the capacity of an Aperol glass be?
An Aperol Spritz is all about not just its taste, but also its presentation. That’s why large goblet glasses with a capacity of about 400 to 550 ml are traditionally used. This allows all the ingredients to be easily combined in the typical mixing ratio. If the glass is too small, however, there’s little room left for ice and garnishes, and the drink quickly looks overcrowded.
The generous volume of an Aperol or aperitif glass also ensures that the drink’s vibrant color is shown off to its best advantage, creating the classic look that many recognize from bars, restaurants, or vacations in Italy. If you want to serve your Aperol Spritz in true style, top it off with a matching straw and a fresh slice of orange.
Our tip for especially hot summer days: Slice the orange and freeze it before garnishing. This keeps the aperitif pleasantly cool for a long time.
