Summer is made for rituals of long brunches, poolside entertaining and lunches that turn into sundowners, and friends arriving unexpectedly.
The rise in mindful alcohol consumption is changing the way we celebrate, with alcohol-free welcome drinks becoming more than simply an alternative. Instead, they can be the sophisticated start to the occasion, stylishly presented and designed to set the tone before the meal.
Abstinence Blood Orange, the proudly South African non-alcoholic Italian-style aperitivo, brings the complexity and occasion of a classic refreshing drink to any occasion. Bright and vibrant, it combines juicy blood orange with citrus, gentle spice and botanical notes, with African Wormwood adding a distinctly South African layer of depth.
Served over ice with non-alcoholic sparkling wine, soda water or tonic and finished with a slice of grapefruit or orange and a sprig of rosemary, it transforms effortlessly into an elegant spritz.
Start with an Abstinence Blood Orange spritz as guests arrive, settle into the afternoon and enjoy the aperitivo ritual before moving on to wine with the meal. It is an easy way to welcome everyone with something sophisticated in their glass, whether they choose to continue with alcohol or not.
Try the Abstinence Blood Orange Spritz for your next sundowner enjoyment!
