Review: Perfect Winter Spritz - Winter Spritz is THE Xmas drink. Think Aperol Spritz, but sub this for the Aperol, and sub Fever Tree's Blood Orange Soda for the regual soda water. Same proportions (3 fizz, 2 Aperitivo, 1 blood orange soda)
Review: Venetian Bird... is that a thing? It should be. - Closer to Campari than Aperol, but like all the flavour of Campari without the aggressive bitterness. So you can taste all those flavours. But it is still bitter. Aperol is sweet by comparison. Cloves dominate on the nose and the tip of the tongue, but beyond that are a host of flavours and spices. It's a great cocktail ingredient. As well as a spritz It'll work brilliantly in negronis, highballs or even Tiki drinks - think Jungle Bird with this instead of Campari - oh yes!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good alternative if aperol is too sweet
*by S***N on 20 October 2025*

Bought after I had it in Italy in place of aperol in a little bar I came across, then strangely enough in a cocktail bar in Edinburgh later that year.
