What is PER SE Aperitivo?
Originating from Portugal, PER SE brings the authentic taste and essence of Southern Europe to your glass. Beyond a drink, PER SE promises a cultural experience of Portuguese lifestyle, a journey through the late afternoons and warm sunsets of Lisbon. It's perfect on the rocks, or mixed into an exciting cocktail recipe.
What does PER SE Aperitivo taste like?
PER SE boasts an aroma with hints of cardamom, orange, Jamaican pepper, and Portuguese hop, delivering a balanced and refreshing twist. On the palate, it offers a light, sweet, and slightly bitter taste, providing a rich ensemble of flavours. At only 14.5% ABV it's also light enough to sip all summer!
How do you drink PER SE Aperitivo?
The short answer? However you like! PER SE can be served "on the rocks" as a cool refreshing short drink. You can try it instead of gin mixed 50:50 with tonic water, or in a classic Spritz with prosecco and a splash of soda water and orange peel.
Our personal favourite? Ditch the tonic water and go for Grapefruit Soda instead for a light refreshing and zippy drink - perfect for parties or Summer Barbeques.
Whether served alone or with tonic water, the finishing touch of orange zest or peel provides a delicate and refreshing citrus touch, ensuring a delightful long aftertaste and full-bodied flavour experience.
