Aperol Glasses – Find the Perfect Glass for Spritz from Italy
The glowing orange of a freshly mixed Aperol Spritz is simply part of summer for many people. On warm evenings on the balcony, at a garden party with friends or as an aperitif before dinner, this Italian classic really shines when served in the right glass. In Italy, the aperitivo is deeply rooted in the culture of enjoyment, and with the right glasses, you can bring that relaxed bar feeling straight into your own home.
At Barmeister24, you'll find a huge selection of Aperol glasses for every occasion. From classic balloon glasses to modern glass designs, there's something to suit every taste. The various shapes of our Aperol glasses showcase the drink perfectly and offer plenty of room for ice cubes, Prosecco, Aperol and soda.
What Capacity Should an Aperol Glass Have?
An Aperol Spritz isn't just about taste – presentation matters too. That's why large stemmed glasses with a capacity of around 400 to 550 ml are traditionally used. These allow all ingredients to be combined effortlessly in the classic mixing ratio. If the glass is too small, there's little room left for ice and garnish, and the drink quickly looks overcrowded.
The generous volume of an Aperol or aperitif glass also ensures that the drink's vibrant colour really stands out, creating that signature look many of us know from bars, restaurants or holidays in Italy. If you want to serve your Aperol Spritz in true style, finish it off with a matching straw and a fresh orange slice.
Our tip for especially hot summer days: Slice the orange before garnishing and freeze the slices. This keeps your aperitif pleasantly cool for longer.

Here are a few easy recipe ideas for you to mix at home.
Aperol Paloma
