Updated April 2026.
Aperol is 11% ABV on Campari Group’s US consumer page. That same US info site lists Campari at 25% ABV. Many US retail tiles still print 24% — read the neck. A 1.5-ounce pour of 11% Aperol is 0.28 NIAAA standard drinks; 1.5 ounces of 24% Campari is 0.60 drinks (0.63 at 25%). Same company. Not the same liqueur.
Both are Italian bitter aperitifs (secret botanicals; orange-forward). Aperol Spritz is Aperol plus prosecco and soda — not a Campari drink. IBA Negroni / Boulevardier / Americano call for Campari. Related: Boulevardier bourbon, IBA specs.
Proof is the first split
| Aperol (US page) | Campari (US) | |
|---|---|---|
| Official US info-site ABV | 11% | 25% (camparigroup.info/usa) |
| Many US bottles / tiles | 11% | 24%, read the neck |
| 1.5 oz drinks | 0.28 | 0.60 at 24%; 0.63 at 25% |
| kcal / 1.5 oz (group page) | 74 | 108 (at the 25% row) |
| Classic glass | Spritz (3-2-1 house builds vary) | Negroni / Americano / Boulevardier |
A 750 mL of 11% Aperol is about 4.7 standard drinks; 750 mL of 24% Campari about 10.2. Four 1.5-ounce Aperol pours are about 1.1 drinks — still ethanol. NIAAA binge pattern is a health line, not a target. Other-market Campari has printed 21–28.5%. No 2026 MSRP. Hours to buy a bottle are state law.
