Since its arrival in 2011, Aperol Spritz has established a sun-soaked spot in the hearts of British drinkers. The iconic Italian aperitivo can be seen glistening amongst groups of friends socialising outdoors as we welcome in the much-needed warmer months… and now it has the food pairing to complete that occasion!
Uniting with, NUGS, the UK’s first dedicated gourmet nugget specialists, the two have created three delicious pairings to enjoy alongside one another. Simple and comforting food is more popular than ever, and the humble chicken nugget is surely the king of that, but these aren’t any old nuggets.
Aperol’s unique bittersweet flavour is offset by three new Italian-inspired creations. ‘Life is butter with garlic’, ‘Mozzar-hella good NUGS’, and ‘Simply the zest’ are available alongside Aperol Spritz from 19th-21st April at their special crossover kiosk in King’s Cross, London. If you’re too late this time around or just situated elsewhere, stop your sobbing and keep your eyes peeled at any festivals and events over the summer instead because they’ll be making an appearance all summer long!
The fun pairing and sharing menu looks as good as it tastes and is stacked with different options from extra sauces to vegan cauliflower nuggets and gluten-free options, so everyone can gather around for a ‘Britalian’ celebration of simple but delicious feasting. It’s not a crossover we expected, but it’s definitely one we’re happy to try.
