Aperol brings its iconic Join The Joy experience to life with market takeovers in Cape Town and Johannesburg, featuring live DJ sets and cocktail masterclasses.
Aperol’s iconic Join The Joy movement is painting the town orange again—this time with market activations that blend Italian flair, cocktail craftsmanship, and feel-good moments you’ll want to toast to.
- Inspired by the buzz of an Italian piazza, the Join The Joy experience transforms local favourites into hubs of joy complete with Aperol Spritz masterclasses, DJ sets, chill lounges, and playful brand installations.
Discover the Perfect Pour in 3-2-1
At the heart of each takeover is a chance to master the iconic 3-2-1 method:
-
3 parts Prosecco
-
2 parts Aperol
-
1 part soda water
This golden ratio ensures the ideal balance of bittersweet, effervescent, and citrusy notes. Whether you’re sipping one at the market or learning how to make your own at home, this signature serve is the hero of the experience.
The events offer interactive cocktail-making sessions where the first 100 guests can mix their own Aperol Spritz (and redeem a complimentary one, naturally) under the guidance of a pro mixologist. It’s the taste of la dolce vita, no passport required.
