What is an Aperol Spritz Tower?

The Aperol Spritz Tower is a sturdy stand in which you can serve up to 12 glasses of Aperol Spritz safely and stylishly. The glasses are hung in the Aperol stand and can be removed quickly and easily by your guests. Your service staff do not have to bring 12 glasses to the table individually or balance several glasses on a tray. Instead, your guests can simply take their drink from the tower. The aperitif tower is a real highlight for any event or your bar.

What makes Aperol Spritz so special?

The Aperol Spritz is a real icon. The drink exudes Italian lifestyle combined with a spring-like, summery light effervescence. When drunk, the fruity orange liqueur adds bittersweet notes, while the sparkling Prosecco adds freshness and triggers a tingling sensation on the tongue.

Serving cocktails or other mixed drinks is child's play with an Aperol stand

The Aperol stand from LUSINI is delivered fully assembled. You simply unpack the product and it is immediately ready for use, without the need for lengthy screwing together or complicated assembly instructions.

The perfect Aperol Spritz recipe for your aperitif tower

We recommend using the original drink for your aperitif tower. Carbonated table water is suitable as a soda water. The fizzier it is, the more sparkling your Aperol Spritz will be.

This goes into the classic Aperol Spritz:

  • 3 cl Aperol
  • 6 cl Prosecco
  • 1 shot of soda water
  • 1 slice of orange
  • ice cubes

Delicious variations can be made with peach, orange or passion fruit juice. Use as much juice as Aperol. It's up to you when mixing: if you increase the proportion of juice, the typical Aperol taste will be reduced and the drink will be fruitier. It is best to use a bar measure to measure the proportions of the drink.

In just a few simple steps, the Aperol pyramid becomes a cocktail tower or long drink tower

The Aperol pyramid from LUSINI is versatile. You can use it to present any cocktail or long drink in style. The Aperol Spritz Tower can be transformed into a gin tower in no time at all:

  • Gin Tower: The juniper schnapps is a classic for mixed drinks. You can serve a gin and tonic perfectly in a tower and garnish with lemons, oranges or mint leaves.

  • Lillet Tower: The fruity, tart wine aperitif from France is a cult drink. It consists of a blend of 85 percent Bordeaux wines with 15 percent fruit liqueur. The result is Lillet Blanc or Lillet Rosé, a refreshing aperitif when mixed with tonic water or soda. You can also garnish this drink in style with fruit in the Lillet Tower.

  • Hugo Tower: Mix 150 ml Prosecco with 100 ml soda, 30 ml elderflower syrup and a quarter of a lime to create a popular, light and refreshing summer drink: the Hugo. Topped up with ice cubes and garnished with mint leaves, the Hugo Tower is the perfect way to present your drink. We recommend using a lime squeezer for the lime juice.

  • Spritz Tower: A Spritz also works wonderfully with other bitter liqueurs such as Campari (cascarilla) or Cynar (artichoke). Simply use the classic Aperol Spritz recipe and replace the Aperol with another liqueur. The Campari Spritz or Spritz Select in particular has been a classic for many years. Serve it in the tower with a slice of orange for a refreshingly fruity drinking experience.

  • Vodka Tower: Vodka is the perfect base for many different mixed drinks. Whether combined with soda or cola and lemonade, this mix always goes down well at parties. The Tower makes the drinks round even more impressive.

  • Whiskey Tower: Mixed drinks with whisky can also be served perfectly with the LUSINI aperitif tower. Mixed with ginger ale, cola or simply as a whisky sour, the stand quickly becomes a whisky tower. The tower is also ideal for whisky tastings. You can simply hang up the glasses and bring different types of whisky to the table for tasting at once.

Extra tip:
Of course, cocktails can also be served in the Aperoltower. There are no limits to the possible uses. Both shaken and stirred cocktail specialties can be “hung” in the tower. The only important thing is that the glass is suitable for the tower.

The cocktail tower for non-alcoholic drinks

More and more people are opting for non-alcoholic alternatives to conventional cocktails or long drinks. Of course, you can also use the aperitif tower for non-alcoholic mixed drinks.

The Tower offers refreshment and variety at the table.

  • Non-alcoholic cocktails: Simply replace the alcoholic drinks in your classic cocktails or mixed drinks with non-alcoholic versions.

-** Non-alcoholic mixed drinks:** You can mix bitter or rather sour juices with non-alcoholic Secco and mineral water.

With the non-alcoholic cocktail tower, you can create a special visual variety. Every table becomes a real eye-catcher with 12 glasses of fruit cocktails. In your catering business, this gives you the opportunity to appeal to another target group and offer them an attractive alternative to alcohol.

How else you can use your Aperol Spritz Tower

The Aperol Tower not only offers the opportunity to bring cocktails or mixed drinks to your guests' tables or to place the drinks spectacularly on a buffet.

You can also hang up a wide variety of glasses. This increases the variety of drinks for which the tower can be used. At the same time, the glasses can be used for ice cream, desserts or snacks. A combination of both is also possible. Here are a few ideas for you:

  • Aperitif: Fill the tower with aperitif drinks such as Aperol Spritz or Lillet and fill individual glasses with nuts, tapas or other finger food in between. This turns the aperitif tower into an “aperitif tower”.

  • Ice cream and desserts: The dessert buffet can be supplemented with a tower to save space and make it very inviting.

  • Digestif: The LUSINI aperitif tower is also compatible with shot glasses. This means you can serve several guests a digestif at the same time.

How can the Aperol Spritz Tower be decorated?

The Aperol stand is made of sturdy metal. It is very easy to decorate with artificial plants or dried flowers. You can also attach real flowers with wire. Ideally, you should match the decorations to the season or the event in question. Christmas tags look just as good on the aperitif tower as spring decorations.

In the evening hours on the terrace or in the garden of a restaurant or bar, the aperitif tower is best shown off with a string of lights. They can simply be wrapped around the stand. It is best to use battery-powered fairy lights. This makes you independent of a power connection.

For which occasions is the Aperoltower suitable?

Of course, no wedding should be without the Aperol tower. Thanks to the wide range of decoration options, it is also suitable for a greenery wedding. The stand and glasses can be decorated with flowers and leaves in just a few simple steps.

As the Aperol tower is quick to set up, simplifies the serving of many drinks and at the same time presents the drinks perfectly, the stand is suitable for every bar, restaurant and caterer.

If you are organizing barbecues or garden parties in summer, you will really impress your guests with the Aperol Spritz Tower.

How to make your aperitif tower look spectacular

Similar to a champagne pyramid, the Aperol Spritz Tower can also be used in different ways to make it the focal point of the evening.

  • Dry ice: If the tower is placed on a buffet and there is steam and smoke around it, ice creations in the glasses or cool drinks become an eye-catcher.

  • Spotlight under glass table: On a glass table, the tower is optimally illuminated from below. This allows the special color of the Aperol Spritz to shine even brighter.

Conclusion: Aperol Spritz Tower - achieve great effect with simple means

With an Aperol stand, it is so easy to serve several drinks in style and create a visual highlight at the table or buffet. Thanks to the versatile glasses, almost all specialty drinks in a bar can be used with the tower.
