What is Sarti Rosa?

Sarti is an Italian maker, and Rosa is its pink aperitivo. An aperitivo is a lightly bitter, aromatic drink meant to be sipped before a meal. It is usually lower in alcohol than a straight spirit and is made for mixing or for drinking over ice.

Rosa is generally described as floral and fruity, with a gentle bitter edge. That makes it a softer entry point than the deep red Italian bitters many people think of first.

Flavor notes vary from one bottle to another, so read the label when you pick one up.

How do you drink an aperitivo like Rosa?

The simplest way is over ice with a slice of orange or grapefruit. Add sparkling water or a dry sparkling wine and you have a long, easy drink for a warm afternoon.

If you want a spritz, build it in a wine glass: ice, aperitivo, sparkling wine, a splash of soda, then a garnish. Keep the pour modest, since the point of an aperitivo is a slow start to an evening.

For sparkling wine, look at our sparkling wine section. For soda and tonic, see mixers.

What cocktails can you make with it?

Pink aperitivos suit any drink that normally calls for a bitter red liqueur, though the result is lighter and more floral. Try it in a spritz, in a negroni-style drink with gin and a sweet vermouth, or topped with tonic.

A white-spirit base lets the color and flavor show. Vodka works if you want something clean, and gin adds botanicals that echo the aperitivo.

Taste as you go and adjust the ratio. Aperitivo brands differ in sweetness and bitterness.

What else does Sarti make?

Sarti is a brand with more than one bottle, which is why we point you to the brand page rather than a single product. The range you see there reflects what is in the shop now.

If you like Italian aperitivo and liqueur flavors, our liqueur category is worth browsing alongside it.
