Apéro, European Stories
Apéro, short for apéritif, is the European cousin of happy hour, two similar but culturally distinct rituals. The French word derives from Latin, meaning to open. The informal social gathering includes drinks and a variety of light snacks intended to whet the appetite and open the evening in a friendly relaxed manner.
