If you want to mix Super Bowl cocktails by the pitcherful—making it easier to refill glasses—here’s a tasty seasonal punch recipe from Belvedere Vodka.

For this occasion, it’s been renamed:

BELVEDERE “HAIL BERRY” PUNCH

Ingredients

Add all ingredients to a pitcher and stir. Garnish with orange slices and lemons.

Aperol is an Italian apéritif created in Padua in 1919, now owned and produced by Campari. Its ingredients include bitter orange, cinchona, gentian and rhubarb, among others.

Aperol looks, tastes and smells much like Campari, another fruit-and-herb apéritif; although it has an alcohol content of less than half of Campari (11% for Aperol, 20.5%, to 28% for Campari, depending on the country in which it is sold).

In 1950, the apéritif took off with the creation of the Spritz cocktail. Building on the popularity of the white wine and soda spritzer, Aperol’s recipe is born: 1.25 ounces Aperol, 3 ounces Prosecco and a splash of soda.

These innovative bars, made in Ecuador with Arriba Nacional cacao beans, are 50% conventionally roasted chocolate and 50% raw cacao nibs.

The result is profound, earthy and higher in antioxidants than just about any other bar.

In addition to basic bars, there are innovative flavor combinations, too:

 
The higher the percentage of cacao, the lower the amount of sugar. The 100% cacao bars have no added sugar (although the dates supply natural sugar).
