Bitter, Rosemary & Orange, Vault Aperitivo

A modern bitter aperitivo, essentially Vault's take on a Campari. Unlike Campari, however, everything here is balanced to perfection - with natural bitterness from the botanicals playing nicely against sweetness and citrus freshness. It starts with English wine to which a blend of key botanicals is added, including orange peel, gentian, fig, oregano and fresh garden herbs like sage and rosemary. This is lovely on its own over some ice and with a twist of fresh orange people, or as the bitter component in classic cocktails like the spritz or a negroni. A refined aperitivo reimagined.  

Vault Aperitivo is a contemporary distillery specialising in vermouths and botanical aperitif-driven spirits. Originally established in 2018 by founders Dan and Sharon Joines within an Italian restaurant in London, the goal was to bring a European-style authentic aperitivo experience to the UK. The team uses the very best British ingredients - from foraging wild herbs and seaweed from the coast to sourcing niche herb plots from local farmers - to infuse their drinks and make all the vermouths with British wine. Everything is cold-distilled, meaning the botanicals retain their freshness and life and you can really taste the difference.
