At the 2023 Summer Fancy Food Show, Abstinence Spirits USA announced the debut of a pair of ready-to-drink alcohol-free spritzes that are low in sugar, naturally colored and full of flavor. The 750ml bottles are available in pre-mixed Sparkling Blood Orange Aperitivo Spritz and Sparkling Lemon Aperitivo Spritz varieties, both of which are ready to be served chilled and poured over ice with a fresh slice of citrus.
Both varieties feature small-batch distilled botanicals and flavors from South Africa’s Cape Floral Kingdom, such as African Wormwood and blackcurrant, also known as South African buchu.
These beverages, which are free from artificial flavors, boast all of the richness and complexity of their alcoholic counterparts but none of the consequences. These guilt-free spritzes are ready to be enjoyed at home, sipped at social gatherings or taken to events.
