The most iconic of all time? It has to be the\u00a0Aperol spritz. Balancing something a little bitter and a little sweet, the fizzy orange-hued drink has become the drink of the summer (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/05\/09\/dining\/drinks\/aperol-spritz.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">whether you like it or not<\/a>). And to usher in the start of the season, one of the world\u2019s most iconic spirits is taking over these two bars in NYC.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This summer, <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/time-out-market-union-square\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Time Out Market New\u00a0<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/time-out-market-union-square\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">York&#8217;s Union Square<\/a>\u00a0outdoor terrace\u00a0becomes\u00a0the <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/time-out-market-union-square\/things-to-do\/the-aperol-experience\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Aperol Experience<\/a>, a beachy getaway courtesy of Aperol. Painting the town orange, the iconic aperitif is taking over the hidden terrace, outfitting it with umbrellas, beach chairs and a photo wall to show off your summertime sip. Naturally, the brand brought the drinks with them as well, hitting on all the classics from the Aperol and Campari spritz, the Sbagliato (yes, with prosecco) and an Americano. For something a tad stronger, the bar will also be serving a riff on the classic Negroni dubbed the Kingston Negroni, with Jamaican rum, Campari and a splash of sweet vermouth. And just for the occasion, the bartenders at the Market are shaking up a special treat: Pepp in Your Step with bell pepper-infused Espol\u00f3n tequila, Aperol, agave, lime, and cr\u00e8me de cassis.\u00a0Come with a group that is ready to party? You can also get a Ti \u2018Punch Bottle Service for four or more, which includes an entire bottle of Wray &amp; Nephew and a tray of sugar cane, limes and ice, so you can dress up your punch, your way.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"fdd80399-fc4d-495d-31d3-9512f478c0c3\" class=\"photo lazy inline\" data-caption=\"\" data-credit=\"\" data-width-class=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p>And when you get hungry (which you just might after hitting the bottle of Wray &amp; Nephew), the Market has put together a series of bites via a Taste of the Market Lunch Box. Priced at $25 per person, the platter has a little something for everyone to enjoy, with a curated lineup of bites, including zaab zaab wings from <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/time-out-market-union-square\/restaurants\/kamraithai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kam Rai Thai<\/a>, samosas from <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/time-out-market-union-square\/restaurants\/kebabwala\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Kebabwala<\/a> and sliders and fries from <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/time-out-market-union-square\/restaurants\/smashed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Smashed Express<\/a>.

Channeling the essence of Italian aperitivo culture, the bar on the Market&#8217;s first floor is stirring up a curated selection of spritzes. As always, you can start with the classics: an Aperol and Campari Spritz or an Americano is on offer. But if you\u2019d rather sip some suds sans a later hangover, there is also an NA option: the Crodino Spritz, which blends Crodino\u2014Italy\u2019s most popular non-alcoholic aperitif\u2014with soda water. Taking one up to the rooftop (or snagging a full spritz pitcher during <a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/newyork\/bars\/sunset-spritz-hour-at-time-out-market\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sunset Spritz Hour<\/a> )\u00a0is definitely the move.<\/p>\n<p>Two chances to spritz in the sun?
