Bella Apertini Aperitivo, 70cl

Product Information

Sainsbury's describes it as a "delicious Aperitivo is made using a secret recipe of fruit, herb and spice flavourings, created by family-owned drinks specialist, Giacomo Sperone. Aperol is a slightly bitter, refreshing drink, it hails from Italy and if it's good enough to be drunk by Italians in their blisteringly hot summers, it's good enough for me. Looking at the cost per drink, this was most expensive which you should bear in mind, especially if you can find Aperol on offer, or like one of the cheaper alternatives on offer.

Intercontinental Brands recently tapped into the trend for Passion Fruit Martinis with the release of its Apollo liqueur. It wasn't as artificially sweet as some of the other options and had plenty of flavour even when in a long drink with the lemonade mixer. A lovely looking bottle with a nice retro label, Sainsbury's say the 70cl bottle contains 14 servings. It wasn't sickly but was packed with flavour and was the one my friends decided was most like the genuine Pimm's.Most commonly, you'll have it piled high with fruit and mixed with lemonade, but if you're more adventurous there's other cocktails like a Pimm's Royale - Pimms with Champagne served in a flute. MY favourite bottle of the lot, this neon- orange liquid hails straight from Italy and is so beautifully packaged you can’t wait to pour yourself a measure. Lots of the supermarkets are now offering their own alternatives to both spirits, which we've taste-tested to compare to see if you can save a few pounds for your next summer barbecue. Bella Apertini is a classic aperitivo crafted with bitter, sweet orange and delicate herbal flavours.

The new distribution deals follow the brand’s recent national listing with UK supermarket Morrisons.

Clare Gibson, marketing director at Intercontinental Brands, said: “This zesty and bright orange apéritif is the perfect serve for summer celebrations.Alongside a similar luminous-orange liquid there’s also the same distinctively delicate herby and citrus notes, that dilute into the very satisfying and very similar taste of an Italian-style spritz. For a refreshing summer drink, serve equal parts Bella Apertini and prosecco with a splash of soda water and lots of ice.
