Chenin Blanc fortified with spirit, gently sweetened by the sugar of the grapes, bittered by Quinchona bark and flavored with some 35 truly Cape ingredients such as fynbos, kalmoes and naartjies. Geography is an important but often forgotten ingredient. With South Africa’s good soil and ideal climate comes diverse flora and fauna. The Cape floral Kingdom, growing along a coastal stretch of about 150 miles, is the smallest and richest of the 6 floral kingdoms of the world and has the highest amount of diversity and endemic plants found anywhere on the planet. Many of these plants don’t occur anywhere else and copious amounts of them have unique flavors and intriguing aromas. We South Africans call this “Fynbos”. And it plays a big part in our vermouth, forming the base and the unique “Cape” flavor. For decades this unique Aperitif inspired barmen all over the world. Then, around 1910, the company that made it disappeared, and with it the product as well as the recipe. Fast forward almost a 100 years to when a Danish mixologist met a Swartland winemaker and the ghost ingredient became first apossibility and then a reality. Now we are experimenting with age old recipes and creating brand new concoctions.With the return of this proudly South African product we want to put Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban on the world map as new cocktail destinations. With the recreation of the golden ghost and the potential to educate people out of poverty and into jobs as New South African bartenders, the future is alive with possibilities.","brand":"Badenhorst Family Wines","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750ml \/ default","offer_id":41171446348,"sku":"2117864-1","price":31.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/products\/badenhorst-family-wines-caperitif.jpg?v=1584805017"},{"product_id":"campari-aperitivo","title":"Campari Aperitivo","description":"Campari is still made according to the original recipe.

Its taste is fresh, bold and fruity with an appealing aroma intensity and lingering aftertaste.Lillet (pronounced lee-lay) is an aperitif wine; a type of drink traditionally enjoyed before a meal. It originated in 1887 in the Bordeaux region of France, a creation of the Lillet brothers, Paul and Raymond, distillers and merchants of spirits, soda, and candies. It was one of the first tonic wines, and became increasingly popular around the turn of the 20th century when tonic drinks were touted as good for the health. The ban against absinthe in 1915 also contributed to the popularity of the drink. In the 1950s and 60s, the golden age of cocktails, Lillet became the centerpiece of a number of drinks served in the fashionable bars and restaurants of New York City, where it was sometimes served flambé. It was also popularly served with gin in England.\u003cp\u003eWhile Lillet was originally a bitter tonic drink, the quinine content has now been reduced. There are now two types made - Lillet Blanc and Lillet Rouge. The Rouge version, made with red wine, appeared on the market in 1962. There are a number of options when serving Lillet. Lillet Blanc can be used in a Martini with gin and vodka and a lemon peel garnish; this drink, called a Vesper, was invented by the character James Bond in Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale. Both can be served plain over ice or as the main ingredient in a number of cocktails. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lillet","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 750ml \/ default","offer_id":41322617868,"sku":"1015391-1","price":30.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1780\/9427\/products\/lillet-aperitif-blanc.jpg?v=1584807264"},{"product_id":"lillet-aperitif-rouge","title":"Lillet Aperitif Rouge","description":"Lillet Rouge, Aperitif de Bordeaux is a sweet, ruby red aperitif originating from the French village of Podensac.
