Aperitif & Amaro

Tasty, but like a Fresca, not like a Hugo spritz

Nice taste, a little thick on the tongue, nice bite

A nice, complex, just-right-spicy flavor — probably a great mocktail ingredient.

A nice premixed Aperol-spritz-like thing.

Also tasty in a rocks glass at night.

A nice, complex taste that doesn't map to any specific cocktail — cold, straight from the can into a cocktail-up glass is the move.

Kind of a lot of sugar, but it really tastes like a Negroni.

Super delicious and Campari-adjacent, best in a spritzer — a slightly off smell is the only real drawback.

A fine enough Campari substitute in a pinch, but weak-bodied — the Abstinence Blood Orange Bittersweet does it better.

The best premixed NA Negroni tried so far — better than DIY versions built from separate NA spirits.

A pretty bitter slow sipper, nice over ice in a rocks glass at night.

Nice over ice in an aperitif glass, or spritzed with soda.

Super refreshing, tastes close to the real thing — just watch the sugar.

An excellent sweet vermouth substitute — just quite high in sugar.

Spicy and yummy on its own terms — a good dry vermouth replacement, if a little sweet.

Freaking delicious if you already liked Amaro — like Amaro with a slight note of cola.

Not terrible, not amazing, and kind of a lot of sugar.
