Huckleberry Aperitivo (50cl, 15%)

Huckleberry Aperitivo is a berry-forward aperitif from Germany, made by Finest Beverages GmbH. Blueberry fruit leads, while the bitterness stays restrained, and the drink is lightly sweet with a purple colour that stands out in mixed drinks. It can be mixed with Prosecco, soda and an orange slice for a classic spritz, or served chilled over ice with tonic water. The producer was founded in 2018 by Max and Jens, with the brand's friendship theme carrying through to this creation. On the nose, intense berry notes dominate, with sweet blueberry aromas reminiscent of freshly picked fruit. On the palate, blueberry sweetness meets a light bitter note in balance. The finish is soft, berry-sweet and lingering.
