Summer Aperitivo Duo
Summer is here, and so is our most anticipated seasonal release: The Summer Aperitivo Duo 🍊🍋 (Formerly known as the Summer Spritz Kit—now evolved, elevated, and better than ever.)
This year we are featuring the Sirene Americano Rosso and Sirene Americano Bianco. Crafted on the shores of Lake Garda with natural botanicals and zero artificial coloring, these low-intervention aperitifs are made for the conscious drinker. Bitter, aromatic, and wildly refreshing—this duo is your ticket to effortless spritzes, vibrant negronis, or sipping straight over ice with a citrus twist.
Included:
-
Sirene Americano Rosso – A bold, herbaceous red aperitivo made from alpine botanicals and citrus peels. An all-natural alternative to Campari – think Negroni or a classic Spritz
-
Sirene Americano Bianco – Lively and floral with notes of gentian, citrus blossom, and wild herbs. An all-natural alternative to Lillet Blanc – perfect in a Vesper or White Negroni.
Why We Love It: All-natural ingredients & no artificial dyes, crafted by hand from a family recipe, endlessly versatile for spritzes, cocktails, or low-ABV sipping

The Liquori delle Sirene are a collection of bitters and liqueurs made by the lovely Elisa Carta, a trained sommelier and olive oil taster, and a passionate herbalist. All of her products were born on Lake Garda, and were inspired by its gardens, colors, sunsets, and aromas. Many of the botanicals come from here. The name Sirene is a tribute to one of the most beautiful bays in the lake, Baia delle Sirene (Bay of the Sirens), and its story. Liquori delle Sirene are the fruit of a long and passionate research, and the reworking of old family recipes for Italian liqueurs and elixirs. No chemicals or artificial coloring are used in any of Elisa’s products.
Elisa makes her liqueurs near Lake Garda, using recipes that have been in her family for generations. They are artisanal creations made from herbs, flowers, roots and fruit; botanical ingredients that are infused in alcohol then combined to give complex, distinctive aroma and flavor. Most of the botanicals she uses come from around the lake with the exception of some from the Far East that do not grow in Italy but have been traditionally used in Italian liqueurs for centuries, such as Chinese Rhubarb Root. Mount Baldo, on the Verona side of Lake Garda, has been called ‘Hortus Europae,’ the garden of Europe, for its richness of flora and fauna, and Elisa has made a detailed study of the herbs of this ecosystem. A group of young Mount Baldo residents, disenchanted with city life, are staying in the region and have banded together to resurrect the botanical industry that the region was previously famous for. They have replanted fields, are farming organically, hand harvesting, and using proper cutting and drying techniques.
