Why is it Called Aperol?

Aperol is the heart and soul of this sorbet. Originally crafted in Italy in 1919, Aperol is named after the French word "Apéro," meaning aperitif—a drink traditionally enjoyed before meals to stimulate the appetite. Its bright orange hue and bittersweet herbal notes have made it a timeless favorite for spritzes and cocktails worldwide. We’ve taken that iconic flavor and given it a chic pink twist, blending it seamlessly with the tangy zest of pink grapefruit.

How Did Grapefruit Get Its Name?

Grapefruit’s name has a curious and fascinating origin. Despite growing on trees, this citrus fruit was named because it clusters together on branches like giant, oversized grapes. First discovered in the 18th century in the Caribbean, the fruit was initially referred to as the "forbidden fruit." Its modern name, "grapefruit," came into use in the early 19th century, reflecting its unique growth habit. With its vibrant pink flesh and refreshingly tart flavor, grapefruit has since become a beloved ingredient in beverages, desserts, and now our Pink Aperol Sorbet. Its history, much like its taste, is delightfully unique!

What is the Secret of a Good Sorbet?

Crafting a perfect sorbet is an art. It’s about achieving the ideal balance of sweetness, acidity, and texture. The key lies in premium ingredients and meticulous care during preparation. For our Pink Aperol Sorbet, we use high-quality Aperol and fresh pink grapefruit juice to create a refreshing, smooth, and melt-in-your-mouth experience. A touch of alcohol not only enhances the flavor but also keeps the texture delightfully scoopable.

Why is the Pink Aperol Sorbet Flavor Combination So Good?

The pairing of Aperol and pink grapefruit is a match made in heaven. Aperol’s slightly bitter, orange-infused taste is beautifully complemented by the tart brightness of pink grapefruit. The addition of sorbet’s creamy sweetness rounds out the flavor profile, creating a harmonious blend that’s both refreshing and indulgent. It’s like sunshine in a scoop, perfect for savoring on warm afternoons or impressing your guests at soirées.
