Leopold Bros. Non-Alcoholic Aperitivo Colorado

750ml bottle

Not only is our latest Leopold Bros Aperitivo iteration non-alcoholic, it’s also vegan!

Unlike our Aperitivo Classico, using cochineal for the red coloring wasn’t an option here, simply because cochineal destabilizes in water without alcohol. With our N/A Aperitivo, the color comes from corn using a new natural extraction process. At it turns out, vegetables are pretty great as coloring agents!

The N/A Aperitivo starts with the steam distillation of each botanical—blasting each ingredient with steam, then condensing the essences, similar to the production of rose oil. We use a combination of Chinotto, Angelica Root, Orris Root, Sage, Juniper, Spearmint, Chicory, Dandelion, Licorice, Gentian, Thyme, Orange, Grapefruit, Rose, Ginger, Wormwood, and Hyssop to craft a flavor profile that mimicks our standard Aperitivos.

While you can combine our N/A Aperitivo with soda water to make a booze-free Americano, or with other alcohol substitutes to create more complex N/A cocktails, it also marries beautifully into low ABV cocktails with alcohol.

Try it with Prosecco to create a low ABV Spritz, or with gin and soda water for a delicious Aperitivo-style Highball.
