Dubonnet Rouge Aperitif, 0,75 L, 14,8%

Punt e Mes Vermouth 0.75L 16% Punt e Mes is an Italian bitter aperitif from Turin. Its name comes from the Piedmontese language and means "a point and a half". This describes the taste profile well. The Punt e Mes is characterized by one part sweetness and half bitterness. Produced since 1870, the Punt e Mes has long since become a classic of Italian aperitif culture.On the palate it presents itself like a mixture of red vermouth with a dash of Campari and clear notes of toffee and cloves. But it remains surprisingly smooth and fully fulfills its purpose as an appetite stimulant.In Italy it is served chilled or on ice and garnished with an orange peel. The Punt e Mes is also the basis of many cocktails such as the classics Manhattan, Negroni or Rob Roy.

Bonal Aperitif Gentiane Quina 0.75L 16% History of Bonal As is so often the case, the story of Bonal begins with a little boy who was interested in alternative medicine from an early age. After years of studying medicine and pharmacology in Paris and Lyon, the young man moved to a small neighboring village. Here he opened a pharmacy where he researched the effectiveness and healing properties of herbs and plants that he collected on meditative hikes in the beautiful Alps. Soon after, in 1865, he created his first 'liqueur wine'. Taste The basis here is Mistelle wine, which contains yellow gentian and various herbs as well as the bark of the China tree. The taste is described as fresh with grassy notes, and you can also detect hints of menthol or roasted chestnuts. Alternative to gin Due to its pronounced bitterness, you can associate it with gin and in cocktails or long drinks you can easily replace this gin with Bonal Gentriane Quina for a bit of variety. A great example of this is a so-called Collins, which is based on a classic sour. However, it also contains soda water and if you look around in bars around the world, there are almost endless possibilities for combining a Collins, because unlike other well-known cocktails or long drinks, any type of base alcohol is allowed in the Collins.

Byrrh Aperitif 1.0L 17% The creation of the BYRRH brand The history of the BYRRH spirits brand begins around the 1860s. Two young boys, the brothers Simon and Pallade Violet, decided to leave their parents' home to stand on their own two feet. At first they made a living as street vendors for textiles and haberdashery before moving to Thuir and opening a small shop where they could sell the fabrics and textiles in a permanent location. Their business was well received, but the brothers did not see this craft as their calling. When around 1866 the general interest in growing and selling wine grew, the brothers also decided to buy a small wine cellar. Since they continued to strive for an innovative idea and an absolute breakthrough, they experimented a lot in the wine cellar. Among other things, it was supposed to be a wine with a quinquina flavor, which could be sold as medicine because of the alcohol and the combination with quinquina. However, the brothers did not consider the strict regulations at the time for products containing the active ingredient quinquina sufficiently and had to ban it from pharmacies pretty quickly. After reducing the quinquina content, they decided to market their product as an aperitif from now on. A slightly different aperitif This aperitif can definitely be seen as something truly special. The wine-based aperitif from France is an unusual blend of red wine flavored with tonic water. Special botanicals were also sought for the special flavors. The ingredients list includes cinchona bark, which contains the active ingredient quinine which provides the bitter note, special spices from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, as well as gentian and camomile flowers. As this is already a mixed drink, we recommend tasting it neat, well chilled with a few ice cubes and a slice of lemon. Of course, like most spirits, it is also suitable for refining various cocktails or long drinks.

Ramazzotti Aperitivo Rosato 0.7L 15% Ramazzotti presents a new type of fruity liqueur, which has been refined with a natural aroma of hibiscus and orange blossom, which not only give the Ramazotti liqueur a delicate rosé tone, but also create a liqueur with a fruity, fresh taste experience. Drinking recommendation What is the best way to drink this special aperitif? Well, because the Rosato neat has a distinct sweetness, a mixture of 5cl Rosato, 10cl Prosecco, ice cubes and a garnish of basil leaves, the so-called 'Rosato Mio', is recommended. If you want to try it neat, you should drink it well chilled or 'on the rocks'.

Dolin Vermouth Rouge 0.75L 16% The Dolin house was founded in 1821 by Joseph Chavasse in Echeles en Savoie and as a liquor distiller he was involved in extracting aromas from fruits and plants. A few years later he moved to Chambery where his company began to marry local wines from Savoie/Chambery with the countless herbs of the nearby mountain region.The Dolin brand goes back to Ferdinand Dolin, who married a descendant of the founder. Dolin vermouth is drier and more characterful than the Italian style developed in Turin and has a natural freshness paired with the purity of natural mountain herbs.Dolin Vermouth Rouge has the best price/performance ratio away from the big players in the global vermouth business. Top recommendation!
