Liqueur
Sheringham Rhubarb Gin Liqueur 375 mL
Fresh rhubarb and bright citrus open the aroma, leading to a palate that balances tart fruit with measured sweetness. Juniper and gentle herbal notes keep the liqueur structured, while star anise and lemon peel add lift and a subtle savoury edge. The finish is lively, clean and lightly spiced. Serve chilled or over ice, top with soda or sparkling wine, or use in a citrus-led spritz where its sweet-tart character can stay focused.
Dolin Bitter de Chambéry
Bitter orange leads with a fragrant citrus-peel note, followed by gentian, cinchona and layered alpine herbs. The palate balances measured sweetness with a clean, persistent bitterness, remaining lighter and more delicate than many dark red aperitifs. A gently spicy, botanical finish keeps it refreshing. Serve over ice with orange, lengthen with soda, or use as the bitter element in a spritz or aperitivo cocktail.
Hakutsuru Yuzu Nigori Liqueur
Bright yuzu aroma leads with fresh citrus and a lightly pithy edge. The palate is rich and softly textured, balancing ripe fruit sweetness against the natural bitterness of the peel. A gently cloudy appearance reinforces its generous, whole-fruit character, while the finish remains lively rather than heavy. Serve well chilled or over ice, alongside spicy dishes, grilled skewers, fruit desserts or salty snacks.
Esquimalt Vino Miele Limoncello
Fresh lemon peel opens with vivid citrus oils and a clean, aromatic lift. British Columbia honey adds a rounded, lightly floral sweetness, while the mead base gives the palate a supple texture and more depth than a simple sugar syrup. Bright acidity keeps the finish refreshing rather than heavy, with lemon zest lingering over a soft honeyed note. Serve thoroughly chilled, pour over ice, or lengthen with soda for a crisp after-dinner drink.
Hotel Starlino Arancione Italian Orange Aperitivo
Bright orange peel opens the aroma, followed by blood orange, ripe peach and pink grapefruit. The palate is juicy and smooth, with coriander, angelica and gentle herbal bitterness adding shape beneath the citrus. A restrained floral note brings lift, while the finish stays clean, fresh and lightly spiced. Serve over ice with an orange slice, or lengthen with soda or sparkling wine.
Aperol Aperitivo
Zesty orange and layered herbal aromas arrive with a light touch of vanilla. The palate is velvety and rounded, balancing vivid citrus with root-driven bitterness and measured sweetness. Its lingering herbal finish stays fresh and gently bitter rather than heavy. Serve over ice with soda, build into a classic Spritz with sparkling wine, or pair with olives, cured meats, potato chips and other salty aperitivo snacks.
Luxardo Antico Cherry Aperitif
Deep burgundy in colour, with zesty citrus, white flowers and ripe cherry over dandelion, burdock and aromatic spice. The palate is richly fruited but held in check by white pepper and a measured herbal bitterness, leading to a long, lightly spiced finish. Serve neat, well chilled or over ice, or use in place of sweet vermouth to give a Manhattan or Negroni a brighter cherry-led shape.
Shin Red Wine Umeshu
Ripe plum and dark berry aromas lead into a fuller red-fruit character, with a subtle vinous depth beneath the fruit. The palate is rounded and generous, balancing gentle sweetness with bright plum acidity and a light tannic grip from the red-wine component. Its texture remains smooth and easy to drink, while the finish is fragrant, softly tart and persistent. Serve chilled, over ice or topped with soda alongside charcuterie, roasted nuts or dark chocolate.
The Irony Spirits Cranberry Euphoria Semi-Sweet Liqueur 375 mL
Bright cranberry brings tart red-fruit freshness to a smooth, semi-sweet palate. A hint of rosemary adds a savoury herbal lift, giving the berry character more definition and keeping the finish from becoming heavy. The texture is rounded but lively, with a clean balance between fruit, sweetness and gentle botanical detail. Serve well chilled after dinner, pour over ice, or add a small measure to sparkling wine for a crisp aperitif.
Wildflower Distilling Co. Limoncello 375 mL
Hand-peeled lemons give this liqueur a bright, direct citrus character, with fragrant peel oils and fresh lemon flavour at the centre. A measured sweetness rounds the tartness without turning heavy, leaving the palate clean and refreshing. The finish is lively, lightly bitter and distinctly lemon-led. Serve thoroughly chilled, pour over ice after dinner, or use a small measure to sharpen a spritz or citrus cocktail.
Luxardo Bitter Bianco Liqueur
Bright citrus, white flowers and fresh herbs form a clear, aromatic opening. The palate is bittersweet and finely balanced, with orange peel, gentian and wormwood bringing definition without heaviness. A soft botanical sweetness rounds the centre before the profile turns drier and more herbal. The finish is clean, elegant and persistent. Serve over ice with tonic or in a white Negroni.
Luxardo Limoncello Gift Set
Ripe lemon and sweet lemon curd shape a generous, citrus-led aroma, with fragrant essential oils bringing freshness. The palate is softly rounded and slightly sweet, balanced by tangy lemon acidity and a clean botanical edge. A smooth texture carries into a bright, persistent finish. Serve well chilled after dinner, add soda for a lighter aperitif, or use in a citrus-forward cocktail.
Select Aperitivo
Bright ruby in colour, with citrus peel, juniper and rhubarb leading a complex botanical aroma. Floral, balsamic and gently mentholated notes add freshness. The palate is medium-bodied and bittersweet, balancing warming spice with a clean herbal core and restrained sweetness. A persistent finish returns to citrus and bitter roots. Serve over ice with Prosecco, soda and a green olive, or use in other aperitivo-led cocktails.
Giffard Cognac And Caramel Liquere
Cynar Artichoke Aperitif 1 L
Aromatic herbs and a dark vegetal note lead into a rounded bittersweet palate. Artichoke brings earthy depth rather than a literal vegetable flavour, while caramel adds softness around the firmer herbal bitterness. The finish is woody, gently spicy and persistent. Serve over ice with orange, lengthen with soda or tonic, or use it to bring deeper savoury character to an aperitivo cocktail.
Naminooto Shuzo Kabo Sukkiri Kabosu Sake Liqueur 720 mL
Fragrant and bright, with fresh kabosu bringing zesty citrus, vivid acidity and a subtle peel-like bitterness. A sake base softens the sharper edges, adding a smooth, gently sweet middle without dulling the fruit's refreshing character. The finish is clean, tangy and lightly rounded. Serve thoroughly chilled or over ice, either on its own or beside grilled fish, tempura, salty snacks and other dishes that welcome a precise citrus lift.
Ryes & Shine Pumpkin Spice Moonshine
Ripe pumpkin gives the palate a smooth, gently rounded centre, while cinnamon brings warm aromatic lift. The spice is measured rather than sharp, allowing the soft fruit and warming spirit base to remain balanced through the finish. Serve lightly chilled, over ice or warmed gently with apple cider. It also works naturally in an autumn Old Fashioned, a creamy coffee cocktail or alongside pumpkin pie, ginger cake and toasted pecans.
