The name 'bitterlekker' perfectly summarises this non-alcoholic aperitif — a sophisticated drink with a slightly bitter taste that wakes the palate. Enjoy it as a refreshing spring drink over crushed ice in a long-stemmed glass with a slice of blood orange and a sprig of rosemary. And on a balmy day, it's thirst-quenching and just plain delicious — lekker!
- Expect a bittersweet symphony of herbal notes and zesty citrus, including blood orange, grapefruit and the lingering bitterness of orange peel
- Included in the bitterlekker mix are two species of honeybush, giving it a lovely, dry finish
- For a refreshing spring drink, serve on crushed ice with a slice of blood orange and sprig of rosemary
- Goes well with a slice of lemon or ruby grapefruit, then topped up with a splash of sparkling water
- Perfect as before-dinner drink, anytime thirst quencher or as a mixer with your favourite gin
