{"product_id":"giffard-aperitif-bitter","title":"Giffard Aperitif Bitter","description":"\u003cp\u003eGiffard Aperitif Bitter is a non-alcoholic French apéritif with the bright citrus, assertive bitterness, and vivid red color you want for a classic bitter-style cocktail. Fresh blood orange and grapefruit come through first, followed by gentian, berries, and a pronounced quinine bitterness that gives it plenty of structure. It has enough concentration to hold its own once you add sparkling wine, soda, or other ingredients — making it particularly useful when you want that familiar bitter-orange backbone in a non-alcoholic cocktail. Giffard Aperitif Bitter contains less than 0.5% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiffard has been making liqueurs in France since 1885, and they know how to build concentrated flavor for cocktails. Aperitif Bitter feels very much like a bartender's bottle: bright, bitter, and designed to still taste like something once it's mixed. We especially like the balance of blood orange and grapefruit against the quinine bitterness — it's more assertive than Ghia and works beautifully when you want a true bitter apéritif character rather than something softer and more botanical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Drink Giffard Aperitif Bitter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an easy spritz, pour over ice with a dry non-alcoholic sparkling wine and a splash of sparkling water, then finish with an orange or grapefruit slice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheeky \u0026amp; Dry Signature Serve — Bitter Grapefruit Spritz:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1½ oz Giffard Aperitif Bitter, 1 oz Giffard Grapefruit, 2½ oz dry non-alcoholic sparkling wine, and a splash of sparkling water.
