MEET THE APERITIVO

A red bitter for aperitivo hour, minus the alcohol

In Italy, aperitivo is the early-evening pause for a drink and a few salty bites before dinner. Red bitter sodas, often called bitter rosso, are a classic part of it: small bottles, bright red, bittersweet and served cold.

Ours is made in Italy from water, sugar, carbon dioxide and natural flavors, with citric and phosphoric acid for tang. Its red color comes from carmine, and it contains sodium benzoate as a preservative.

Serve it straight from the fridge over ice with an orange slice, or top it with sparkling water for a lighter sip. If you like bitter sodas, try our Sicilian organic Chinotto too.
