Is the drink before dinner.

In Italy they have Aperativo in Italy
is the drink and snacks before dinner time. Usually 5-6 pm becasue dinner don't start until 7-9pm

I'm thinking the Apero is short for Aperol the liquor used in Aperol spritzes. If you aren't using Aperol you have to call tehm orange spritzes.
