Your favorite Jonas Brother‘s favorite drink is an Aperol Spritz.
Aperol returned to Coachella for its fourth year, and this time, they threw a darty. The Aperol Day Club was a free festival activation with live DJ sets, beauty salons, immersive installations and, of course, Aperol-forward drinks. To celebrate the launch of the club, Aperol enlisted Joe Jonas to help them throw an exclusive surprise party on Friday.
“I’ve been giving [Aperol] free promo for years,” Jonas said in an exclusive interview with Billboard ahead of the surprise. “I always have one in my hand, so it’d be fun to be able to do stuff with them. And the party is gonna be great.”

Jonas spent the days leading up to his Aperol Day Club debut preparing, sharing that he put together “a pretty extensive playlist” for the occasion that he knew people would enjoy. One track he was particularly excited to play was Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” remix from Project X.
“That remix always,” Jonas said when asked about his ultimate party track. “I think I’ve seen him perform that version at Coachella.”
Alongside the Cudi banger, there are a few things Jonas believes make for a successful party: a good host, good drinks (“preferably Aperol Spritz”), good music, good lighting (“that’s always key”) and good vibes.
As he got ready to host the epic event at the Aperol Day Club, Jonas set high expectations for himself and the vibe of the party.
“I hope that it [kicked] things off in the right way,” the artist-turned-party-host said. “And they can leave Monday morning saying, ‘My highlight of my weekend was sharing a drink with that friend, Joe.’”
