STORY
Etota's Aperitivo is a creamy, bittersweet pre-dinner apéritif with a stewed fruit base, bright bitter berries, vegetal earthy tones, and top notes reminiscent of vanilla and cocoa.
Made from 12 fruits, teas, herbs, and spices, that are macerated and distilled for over 96 hours in 95% Neutral Cane Spirit, this is a complex beverage with superior mouthfeel, similar to the alcohol classics you love. The alcohol is gently removed to leave the essences of each, transforming our dreamy ingredient combo into a magnificently-rich beverage with a seductive blend that your taste buds will thank you for. Formulated by award-winning bartenders, Bittersweet Aperitivo is based on the traditional Italian apéritif, and available in a 500ml bottle, 50ml sample or pre-mixed Spritz.
"There is a tartness that hits your tongue immediately. It’s grapefruit-forward but smells like rhubarb and berries, and even though it’s sweet, there’s a savoury finish and bitterness that keeps you going back for more." Broadsheet.

The word apéritif is French, and its Italian counterpart is aperitivo. These aromatic, drinks are designed to whet the appetite. Apéritifs are common in Europe, AND ARE often served as drinks before dinner. IT'S popular to meet friends after work to enjoy apéritifs, with some light appetisers. Similar to the American happy hour, it's an opportunity to relax and slow down.
Base notes of gentian and schisandra give a sharp, radiating tang while mid notes of saffron and rooibos add a floral perfume.
