Pentire Coastal Spritz Aperitivo
Pentire Coastal Spritz is a non-alcoholic aperitif made with naturally distilled coastal botanicals from Cornwall, layered with blood orange, sea rosemary and oakwood. It has the citrusy bitterness you want from a classic aperitivo, but with a distinctly fresh, herbal character that keeps it from feeling like another Aperol imitation.
Blood orange brings gentle sweetness and bright citrus, sea rosemary adds a savory herbal edge, and oakwood gives the finish a little structure. Agave rounds out the bitterness without making it overly sweet. The result is refreshing, lightly bitter and beautifully balanced, especially if you like your spritzes more botanical than fruity.
Why We Love It
Pentire does bitter aperitivo differently. The blood orange is familiar, but the sea rosemary and oakwood give Coastal Spritz a more savory, grown-up quality. We especially like that it has enough personality to stand up to a simple mixer without needing a complicated cocktail around it.
How to Drink Pentire Coastal Spritz
For an easy spritz, pour 2 oz Pentire Coastal Spritz over plenty of ice and top with light tonic or sparkling water. Finish with an orange wedge or a bay leaf for a more herbal serve.
Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve — Coastal Paloma: 2 oz Pentire Coastal Spritz, 1½ oz fresh grapefruit juice, ½ oz fresh lime juice, and 2 oz sparkling water. Build over ice, stir gently, and garnish with a grapefruit wedge and a small pinch of flaky sea salt.
Pair it with: salty Marcona almonds, grilled shrimp with citrus, burrata with roasted tomatoes, or a good cheese and charcuterie-style board.
