FAQs
How should an apéritif be consumed?
While all apéritifs can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks, styles like ouzo and bitter apéritifs can be served with a dash of tonic or soda water to tone down their bold flavour, which may be too intense for some drinkers.
Vermouth and all others in the range also make the perfect base to build a vivacious or brooding cocktail to sip and discover their nuanced tasting notes. However, all our apéritifs for sale beautifully pair with mezze like olives, cured meats and cheeses.
What is the ideal serving temperature for an aperitif?
The ideal serving temperature for an apéritif can vary depending on the style you’re serving to draw out their distinct flavour profiles and characteristics. Some of these can include:
- Vermouth — Generally served chilled or on the rocks, white vermouth is best enjoyed between 8 °C to 10 °C, while red or sweet styles are enjoyed slightly cooler at 6 °C to 8 °C.
- Bitter apéritifs — Generally chilled when blended in a cocktail mixer and in the glass, bitter apéritifs like Campari and Aperol are served from 4 °C to 6 °C.
- Apéritif wines — Styles like Lillet, Dubonnet, or Cocchi Americano are typically served chilled between 8 °C and 12 °C to balance their sweetness and bitterness.
What is the ideal time of day to enjoy an apéritif?
We believe you can buy apéritifs to enjoy anytime — traditionally, they’re consumed before dinner to stimulate your appetite and prepare your palate for a lavish meal.
How should an open bottle of apéritif be stored?
While apéritifs have a longer shelf life than many wines and spirits, they can still deteriorate when exposed to light and air. It’s best to close them with a wine stopper or vacuum sealer, however, its regular lid will suffice if securely twisted closed. Store out of the fridge in a dark cabinet in an environment, preferably between 10 °C and 20 °C, and you should be able to preserve their flavour for years to come.
