The aperitif is a moment of conviviality and union that is much loved by Italians.
Nothing beats an aperitifs after a long day of work, telling each other the news of the week or spending a moment of lightness in the company of your partner.
Over the last few years, in addition to the classic aperitif with alcoholic drinks, the phenomenon of non-alcoholic aperitifs at home has become popular, with the use of non-alcoholic cocktails, the so-called mocktails.

The non-alcoholic cocktails are the ideal solution for people who don’t drink and for all those who cannot drink alcohol for religious reasons, for health reasons or simply because they have to drive.
