With the spring sunshine comes the desire to go for “el aperitivo” that wonderful custom that Spaniards indulge in at weekends. But, can you imagine having “el aperitivo” every day? And why not? Make a stop in your busy schedule. Whether you eat at the office, at home or even if you barely have time to eat because you go to the gym at lunchtime, change the chip. Treat yourself to a unique snack: alcohol-free vermouth.
Even if it’s only for twenty minutes, take a break from your daily routine. Get together with some work colleagues, or with your family or friends, go out on the terrace with drinks and snacks. Prepare some olives or pickles, savour a good alcohol-free vermouth or a good non-alcoholic aperitif and bring up small talk to take your mind off the stress of the day. Comment tv series, books or those precious shoes you still don’t know whether or not you can afford. During “el aperitivo” on a working day it is forbidden to talk about work, it is the time to smooth things over, to relax.
Here comes the spring
Feel that spring sunshine on your face. Disconnect. Laugh, make jokes, turn those twenty minutes into quality time. Let them whet your appetite and give you the strength to continue the day. That non-alcoholic aperitif is one of the best therapies you have within your reach to reduce the stress of work, to pamper yourself a little during the day. Without alcohol, without bad feelings, taking advantage of the midday sun.
It is a mistake to leave the aperitif only for weekends. We live in the land of the sun, let’s take advantage of its rays and energy before the hot summer arrives. Feel its caressing rays. Savour your drink. Since it’s alcohol-free, you’ll be able to carry on with your day at full strength. Pamper yourself.
At The Blue Dolphin Store we have a wide and renowned range of alcohol-free vermouth, alcohol-free wine, desalcoholized sparkling wine and 0.0 beers so that every day you can change your aperitif drink and every day is a different and unique day.
Alcohol-free vermouth is the key
There are the very famous Martini Floreale and Martini Vibrante, the white and red non-alcoholic versions of the famous and international Martini vermouth. Alessandro Martini and Luigi Rossi were a clever entrepreneur and a master herbalist who created the iconic brand in 1863. The history of the brand is as delicious as the taste of its drinks.
But it’s not just the classics that men (and women) live for, other aperitifs are a hit this spring season:
- Try Lyre’s Vermouth Rosso an exceptional red non-alcoholic vermouth. Mix it with premium tonic (with hints of orange) to create a delicious Americano. If you want to impress, add ice and a splash of Lyre’s American Malt to create an elegant Manhattan.
- If you’re a Campari fan, you must try Lyre’s Italian Orange , a citrus-flavoured non-alcoholic aperitif with hints of blood orange and red grapefruit.
- Amàrico, a creamy, vermouth-like non-alcoholic aperitif with citrus notes of bitter orange and lemon. It is made from the infusion of flowers, bark and roots. It is produced by combining ancient methods with modern techniques to achieve a complex and unique drink, easy to drink on any occasion and intended for those who prefer a healthy lifestyle. The perfect aperitif for an everyday day.
Don’t leave the aperitif (only) for the weekends. You’ll find that your day will be more stimulating, lighter, shorter (even if you have to leave a little later). Those twenty minutes of aperitif are a gift to your palate, but also to your brain.
