{"title":"Aperitif","description":"\u003ch2 id=\"speakable-headline\"\u003eFine-bitter aperitif for a toast before the meal arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote id=\"speakable-summary\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt \"nur Gutes\", the aperitif category represents six types of products from eleven producers between Hamburg and the Chiemgau region: aperitif liqueur, bitters and amaro, Riesling-based wine aperitif, apple vermouth wine, ready-to-serve cocktails, and eleven syrups as a base for spritzes. Bitter orange and gentian provide the foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAperitif\u003c\/strong\u003e is the term for the drink served before a meal; it is tart or bitter, and rarely sweet. With alcohol contents ranging from 13 to 35% vol, the alcoholic varieties are available as aperitif liqueurs, bitters and amaro, wine aperitifs, apple vermouth wines, or ready-mixed cocktails. It is enjoyed neat, in a spritz, or in a cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe spritz comes from the Veneto, the bitterness from the root\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Aperire\" means to open, and in the nineteenth century, this Latin word evolved through French into \"aperitif.\" It opens the evening and fills the hour while the kitchen is still busy. In Italy, this hour is called \"aperitivo,\" referring both to the social engagement and the glass itself—standing together at a bar with olives, chips, and a few cubes of cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt that time, the Veneto was part of the Habsburg Empire, and anyone who ordered wine there would have it \"spritzed\" with water, which gave the drink its German name. Later, Prosecco replaced the water, and then the red bitter—as produced in Padua since 1919—was added. Since 2011, the International Bartenders Association has set the formula: six centiliters of that, nine centiliters of sparkling wine, plus a splash of soda, ice, and a slice of orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Florence, between 1919 and 1920, Count Camillo Negroni had his Americano lengthened with gin instead of soda. At Caffè Casoni, this became a classic, which to this day consists of equal parts gin, red vermouth, and red bitter, served over ice in a tumbler—a straight glass with a thick bottom—topped with an orange zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFood laws categorize the contents of such glasses. A \"bitter\" is an aromatized spirit with a predominantly bitter taste, and under EU law, must contain at least fifteen percent alcohol by volume. A liqueur requires the same minimum strength plus at least one hundred grams of sugar per liter. This roundness is detectable in an aperitif liqueur, while the bitter variety is drier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Amaro\" simply means bitter in Italian and refers to a bitter liqueur. For this, herbs, roots, flowers, bark, and citrus peels are macerated in alcohol or wine before the sugar is added. Red aperitivo bitters are constructed similarly but are lighter in color and have less herbal intensity; they are meant for before a meal, while the darker amaro is a habit for after, served neat or over ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bitterness comes from a few specific plants, and their names are well-known in this category. The root of the yellow gentian contains amarogentin, one of the bitterest substances in existence, which can still be clearly tasted even when diluted one to twenty thousand. Cinchona bark from the Andes provided quinine in 1820, and anyone using it must state it on the bottle. With the bitter orange, the bitterness lies in the white peel and the membranes, while the pulp remains sour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom aperitif liqueur and bitters to the ready-to-serve cocktail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAperitif liqueurs tend to be fruity and fine-bitter, and we have selected four of them. Amérie by Sasse, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/sasse-amerie-muensterlaender-aperitif-700ml\"\u003eaperitif liqueur with whole berries in the bottle\u003c\/a\u003e, has 16 percent alcohol by volume and thrives on raspberries from the Grothues-Potthoff farm and hand-picked wild strawberries. The berries remain whole and glow red through the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosalie, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/piekfeine-braende-rosalie-apero\"\u003eaperitif made from rose petals, strawberries, and bitter orange\u003c\/a\u003e, comes in at 18 percent alcohol by volume and tastes both sweet and tart. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/ehringhausen-jos-garden-15-spritz-blutorange\"\u003eblood orange spritz liqueur\u003c\/a\u003e from the Ehringhausen distillery has the lowest alcohol content among the alcoholic bottles at 15 percent by volume, featuring a specially distilled blood orange spirit and Sicilian zest; the color is clear orange-red. The Aperitivo from Windspiel places bitter orange alongside tart grapefruit, and the Mediterranean citrus note balances out a fine sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThings get tarter and more herb-forward with bitters and amaro, a segment led by Mondino. The \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/mondino-amaro-bavarese-700ml\"\u003eBavarian organic amaro\u003c\/a\u003e is called Amaro Bavarese and has 18 percent alcohol by volume. It derives its bitterness from bitter oranges from the Amalfi Coast and Spain, rhubarb, and yellow gentian, while hibiscus blossoms give it a ruby-red color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stagionato beside it has spent almost a year in oak barrels, reaching 24 percent alcohol by volume, and layers velvety vanilla under the bitter orange. The Amanero, with 31 percent alcohol by volume and over thirty herbal essences, belongs at the end of the evening; its producers call it a digestivo. Cherry Bitter by Kakuzo places warm cherry beside spicy gentian and tart grapefruit, based on vodka.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA category of its own is the wine aperitif, built upon a wine foundation. Bright Lemon and Ruby Wood from Ode are based on a Riesling and reach 18.5 percent alcohol by volume. The bright one is light yellow with lemon, bergamot, peach, thyme, and artichoke; the dark one is garnet red with bitter orange, red sandalwood, gentian, and vanilla. Related to this is the Rosé Rye from the Spreewald, a Rosé from Baden with rye whiskey added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom apples instead of grapes comes the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/manufaktur-joerg-geiger-wehmut-apfelwermut\"\u003eWehmut by Jörg Geiger\u003c\/a\u003e, an apple vermouth wine. Bittersweet apples and wormwood are fermented in a used whiskey barrel, an apple and grape brandy brings it to 13 percent alcohol by volume, and it is served neat at 14 to 16 degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCocktails come ready-mixed, a specialty of a Hamburg house. pHenomenal bottles its Negroni at 26.1 percent alcohol by volume, using Eversbusch double juniper spirit, an Italian artichoke-based amaro, and a house cuvée of several vermouths; the color is a dark mahogany. Beside it is Autumn in New York, a Manhattan at 34.7 percent alcohol by volume made from rye whiskey from the Münsterland, chestnut spirit, and vermouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a spritz base, there are eleven syrups from Schusters Shrub, made with organic apple cider vinegar and three ingredients. Topped with white wine or Prosecco, it becomes an alcoholic spritz; with water, a non-alcoholic one. Bellini, spritz, and non-alcoholic concentrates can be found with their own product information and mixing ratios in the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/aperitif-alkoholfrei\"\u003enon-alcoholic aperitifs\u003c\/a\u003e section. Those looking for the sweeter side of these producers will find it among the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/likoer\"\u003eliqueurs\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFirst the bitterness, then the form, finally the alcohol\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen standing before this shelf, it is best to decide on an aperitif in three steps, because the tartness carries the flavor and the form determines the glass. First the bitterness, then the form, finally with or without alcohol—following this rule organizes the entire shelf at \"nur Gutes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruity and fine-bitter are Amérie, Rosalie, the blood orange spritz, and the Windspiel Aperitivo. Herb-forward and tart are Amaro Bavarese, Cherry Bitter, and Ruby Wood. Powerful and barrel-aged, Stagionato and Amanero sit at the end of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form is the second deciding factor; anything that has seen a barrel is best enjoyed neat over ice. Fruity liqueurs and lighter varieties go into a spritz because the sparkling wine offsets their sweetness. Anything ready-mixed or compatible with gin and vermouth goes into a cocktail. Finally, there is the question of alcohol, which the producers answer themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMondino includes the non-alcoholic \"Senza\" as a substitute in all of its recipes. The Ehringhausen distillery offers its spritz in strong, mild, and non-alcoholic versions, and a syrup from the Steigerwald becomes an alcoholic aperitif with Prosecco and a non-alcoholic one with water. This allows a mixed group to be served from the same idea, poured two ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFruity liqueurs are ready if tart flavors are not preferred; those who like it dry will find what they are looking for in the amaro or the Ruby Wood. For a whole group, one liqueur goes a long way, as only a few centiliters are needed per glass. The ready-mixed bottle, on the other hand, is ready to be put right on the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBehind every bottle stands a producer with a first name\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRüdiger Sasse was sixteen when, in 1985, he stood in Schöppingen before the ruins of a distillery with a three-hundred-year family tradition. The Amérie is the fruity exception for him, as those who know the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/feinbrennerei-sasse\"\u003eFeinbrennerei Sasse\u003c\/a\u003e otherwise know it for Korn (grain spirit).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Bremen, Birgitta Schulze van Loon has been distilling in a glass factory at the Europahafen since November 2011, and for Rosalie, she adds the petals of the Friesian rose. Strawberry up front, rose behind it, bitter orange at the end, and it stands clear and red in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Riesling from Rheinhessen is the starting point, specifically produced by winemaker Nico Espenschied. Stefan Becker and Thorsten Konrad, two designers from Berlin, have been working on their wine aperitif since 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Bavarian master distiller learned his craft in Italy in the sixties, and the amaro recipe Hans brought back from there is still in Kaltenbach near Traunstein today. His grandson Max has relaunched it with three friends; \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/mondino\"\u003eMondino\u003c\/a\u003e has stood for an organic amaro from the Chiemgau region ever since, made with Bavarian spring water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe orange zest in Hamburg is infused right in the bottle instead of being dropped into the glass later. Hendrik Schaulin has been mixing his Negroni by hand, in small batches, since he opened his house in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe distillery in Werne was built by grandparents Heinrich Glitz and Anneliese Ehringhausen in 1962; today, it is run by siblings Theres and Georg Glitz-Ehringhausen in the third generation. The name of the spritz line was given to them by Josef Ehringhausen, a pharmacist in the family who kept herbaria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aperitivo by Sandra Wimmeler and Denis Lönnendonker is deep red until the tonic is added, turning it orange-red; they do their distilling in the Volcanic Eifel. Paul and Marc founded Kakuzo in Berlin in 2017 and borrowed the name from Okakura Kakuzō, who wrote \"The Book of Tea\" in 1906.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Spreewald, a rosé from Baden stands beside rye whiskey, ever since Steffen, Sebastian, and Bastian took over the distillery in Schlepzig at the end of 2016. The syrups from Hanna and Gabi Schuster, who have been soaking fruit and herbs in organic apple cider vinegar since 2012, come from the Steigerwald; Hanna brought the technique back from her time as a student in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe producers set the quantities for the glass themselves\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor quantities, stick to the producers' own recommendations. For Amérie, Sasse puts three ice cubes in the glass, pours two parts sparkling wine over them and one part liqueur, plus a leaf of fresh mint. Rosalie requires six centiliters and eight centiliters of sparkling wine or Prosecco, soda to taste, and an orange zest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMondino calculates three to four centiliters, ten centiliters of Prosecco, and another three to four centiliters of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/windspiel-tonic-water\"\u003etonic water\u003c\/a\u003e. Windspiel uses fifty milliliters per one hundred milliliters of tonic, and at Ode, it's one-third aperitif to two-thirds filler—that is, tonic, sparkling wine, or water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a large wine glass and fill it with ice before anything else goes in, because too little ice makes the spritz get warm faster than you can drink it. Top it off with something that adds color and fragrance: a slice of orange, a grapefruit zest, or a sprig of rosemary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ready-made Negroni wants a tumbler with three to four ice cubes, six to ten centiliters poured over, and then time, because it mellows as the ice melts. If you want to make it yourself, use two centiliters of Amaro Bavarese, two centiliters of gin, and two centiliters of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/wermut\"\u003ered vermouth\u003c\/a\u003e. Pour the Manhattan, stirred, into a pre-chilled coupe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace a plate of olives, salted almonds, cheese crackers, and a few slices of ham beside it, and this hour needs nothing more. Drink Cherry Bitter neat over ice, with tonic, or in a Negroni; simply top the blood orange spritz with sparkling wine. Save the Stagionato and Amanero for later, when the table has been cleared. Opened bottles keep longest if stored cool and in the dark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn summer the spritz, in winter the barrel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe light-colored bottles belong to summer: Amérie on the terrace, Rosalie for a long evening, the blood orange spritz over plenty of ice. As soon as it gets dark earlier, the darker ones move in: the Manhattan in the fall, Stagionato and Amanero with their barrel notes, Ruby Wood with sandalwood and vanilla. And if you need something quick, the Negroni is ready-mixed and waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn between are the days when a glass marks the occasion: Rosalie on Valentine's Day, Amaro Bavarese on Mother's Day, the spritz from Werne on Father's Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere in Nordhorn, the end of the workday belongs to this hour; the ice cracks in the glass, and for a while, no one talks about food.

At joint events, Goodvines Sparkling Riesling was refined with Rubycube's elderberry vinegar creation. Its enchanting play of colors and the taste of Riesling and elderberry vinegar brought enthusiastic feedback and gave rise to the idea for the joint project GUUBII.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoodvines was founded in 2019 in Heidelberg by passionate wine lovers to create a non-alcoholic wine alternative for everyone who wants to forgo alcohol, but not authentic taste. In the production of Goodvines Sparkling Riesling, modern technology and the expertise of experienced wine dealcoholizers are used alongside selected, fruity-tart Rieslings from Germany. During the process known as vacuum distillation, the alcohol contained in the wine is gently evaporated in stainless steel cones at 30° Celsius. The initially dissolved bouquet notes—the volatile but flavor-giving components of the wine—are collected and stored separately, allowing the alcohol to evaporate completely, resulting in a final product with 0.0% alcohol. The dealcoholized white wine then has its natural bouquet added back unchanged, which makes the authentic taste possible.

To this, Hendrik Schaulin adds a very rare chestnut spirit from the Southern Palatinate distillery, which opens up the nutty profile. A house cuvée made from several vermouths and a dash of Angostura provide herbal spice and depth, resulting in a drink that is nutty, spicy, and velvety all at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncidentally, chestnuts cannot be fermented because they lack the necessary sugar. That is why it is called a \"Geist\" (spirit) and not a \"Brand\" (eau-de-vie): the fruits are macerated in alcohol and then distilled. This explains why a chestnut spirit is so rare and so expensive – and why you will hardly find it in any other cocktail.

Origin, purity, and content are defined for every batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe basis for this is the Pharmacopoea Germanica, the old German Pharmacopoeia, which the family still uses today at their Park-Apotheke in Wuppertal. Helmut Jagla manages the house, and his daughter Christina prepares the elixirs together with him – using cold maceration, so that the aromas of the roots and blossoms are not lost to heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis commitment has become well known. The Berlin herb specialties are now found in bars and top-tier gastronomy – Christina Jagla has developed custom bottlings for Rutz, Berlin's three-star restaurant. For a company that started out of a family pharmacy at the end of 2015, this is a remarkable journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapefruit aperitif also benefits from this craftsmanship. Anyone who has been preparing extracts for their recipes for decades knows how much bitterness a drink can take before it becomes unpleasant. The fine line between stimulating and unpalatable is particularly thin with grapefruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSan Pompello is, of course, vegan and gluten-free.

It provides a mineral foundation beneath the fruit and gives the aperitif a length usually only found in wine. What remains is a spritz that starts floral and finishes with a tart, herbal note.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the wine base, Dr. Jaglas collaborates with Johannes Leitz, a Rheingau VDP winemaker who is among the pioneers of dealcoholized wine.

A slice of lemon or a sprig of mint doesn't hurt, but neither is necessary. It is more important that the bottle is thoroughly chilled: lukewarm, the spritz loses its tension and suddenly tastes like lemonade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the table, it pairs well with light cuisine. Salmon, Asian dishes with ginger and coriander, or a bowl of light grapes suit it well. It is also suitable as a companion throughout a long meal because it keeps the palate clean instead of overwhelming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor larger gatherings, it is the most relaxed solution anyway. One bottle fills about five glasses, and no one has to stand at the table measuring things out while the guests wait.

Alcohol carries flavors, dissolves them, and preserves them—if it's removed, something else must step in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is exactly why Christina Jagla brought a winemaker on board for the Spritz line instead of assembling the base herself. The apothecary provides the herbal and citrus extracts, the Rheingau winemaker provides the wine, and together they create more structure than either side could provide alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe craft comes from Wuppertal, where father Helmut Jagla runs the Park-Apotheke in the Elberfeld Luisenviertel district and the family prepares their elixirs through cold maceration. The herbal specialties were intended to reach beyond the Bergisches Land region, says Christina Jagla about her start in Berlin at the end of 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a range that is found in bars as well as in fine dining—Christina Jagla produces exclusive editions for the three-star Berlin restaurant Rutz.

Christina Jagla, a pharmacist from Berlin, has married her \"Herber Hibiskus\" (tart hibiscus) with a dealcoholized sparkling Riesling.

The recipe contains 5% hibiscus flower extract, which provides such a vibrant color that nothing else is needed. This is complemented by rosemary, elderberry, and a hint of vanilla from the \"Herber Hibiskus,\" which forms the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dealcoholized Riesling accounts for 50% of the bottle, contributing minerality and a lean acidity.

GARDEN Zero Spritz is a non-alcoholic aperitif from the Ehringhausen distillery, crafted from the zest of Sicilian blood oranges, herbs, and a hint of chili.

The Zero Spritz from Werne solves this with three elements: zest, herbs, and chili. In doing so, it takes on the role of a classic bitter in the early evening without leaving you with sugar water in your glass at the end. The blood oranges used are sourced from Sicily, the herbs from the family’s own recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFirst the zest, then the spice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sits in the glass citrusy, herbal, and aromatic. The finest zest of Sicilian blood oranges provides freshness, while a subtly bitter herbal note balances it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chili comes last and remains polite—a sensation of warmth in the finish rather than an attack. It is precisely this aftertaste that makes the difference, as spice maintains the same tension in the mouth that alcohol would otherwise provide. Fruity, aromatic, and composed, it manages without the sweetness that non-alcoholic aperitifs often get lost in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt glows a deep orange-red in the glass, and because an aperitif is always a matter of aesthetics, that counts for more than one might think. Anyone who places it next to a classic spritz will see no difference and taste one that takes nothing away from them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitterness is the most difficult exercise for non-alcoholic drinks because, without alcohol, the carrier that holds bitter flavors is missing. Here, the herbal note and the zest take on that role, which is why the Zero Spritz doesn't taste flat even after the third sip. Anyone who has ever had a non-alcoholic alternative in their glass that was just sugary after half an hour will notice the difference immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn ice, with tonic or non-alcoholic sparkling wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree parts sparkling, two parts Zero Spritz, plenty of ice, and a slice of orange—and your spritz is ready, with zero proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen served neat on ice, the herbs and chili come through more clearly than in a mixed spritz. With tonic, it becomes drier and longer; with soda, leaner and lighter. Serve it well chilled at six to eight degrees in a large glass so that the citrus oils have room to breathe.

From its petals she distills a strictly limited rose blossom spirit, and from its hips a rosehip brandy – so the plant is used twice, top and bottom. The strawberry, in turn, grows in every other field in the North, and at harvest time in June whole stretches of countryside smell of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Frisian rose has the botanical name Rosa rugosa and carries its wrinkles in its name: rough, dark green leaves, thick blossoms, thick hips.

GARDEN 15 Spritz is a bitter-sweet liqueur from the Ehringhausen distillery in Werne, crafted for the hour before a meal. With 15% ABV and a house-distilled blood orange spirit, it focuses on fruit and a refined bitterness rather than sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp id=\"speakable-definition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlood orange liqueur\u003c\/strong\u003e is the fruity side of the aperitif, and the 15 Spritz from the JOS. GARDEN collection comes from Werne in Westphalia. To achieve its flavor, the distillery produces its own blood orange distillate instead of purchasing ready-made flavorings, and this is exactly what gives it its depth. Georg Glitz-Ehringhausen introduced it to us himself, with the calm composure of a distiller who knows exactly what is inside the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlood orange, refined bitterness, plenty of freshness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt opens in the glass with citrusy, floral, and spicy notes. The nose detects ripe blood orange, followed by a hint of zest and the tart edge that the peel brings with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the palate, it is juicy, zesty, and summery, with a bitter note that emerges late and balances the fruit before it becomes too heavy. The 15% ABV supports the entire profile without overpowering it. The distillery calls this style \"bitter-sweet,\" and the name is spot on: first the sweetness of the orange, then the tart finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose who have found aperitifs too sweet or too sharp in the past will find the perfect middle ground here. This is due to the distillate, as a spirit distilled from blood oranges carries the peel and oils into the glass, whereas a synthetic aroma only mimics the sweetness. That is why this blood orange liqueur tastes like fruit and not candy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThree parts bubbly, two parts liqueur\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spritz goes like this: three parts bubbly, two parts liqueur, a splash of soda, plenty of ice, and a slice of orange in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA dry \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/trinken-prickelnd-prosecco-cava\"\u003eProsecco\u003c\/a\u003e brings the blood orange to the fore and keeps the drink light; that is the obvious starting point.

The blood orange liqueur also shines served neat over ice, well-chilled at six to eight degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liqueur pairs well with salty snacks—olives, roasted almonds, or a piece of aged mountain cheese. Serve it in a bulbous wine glass instead of a narrow flute so the citrus notes can breathe.
