Aperitivo Spritz RTD

A ready-to-drink aperitivo spritz in a 250ml can, built on orange and citrus extracts with 18 Mediterranean herbs and bitters — and a nootropic B-vitamin blend for good measure.

About This Drink

The Aperitivo Spritz RTD is Smiling Wolf's canned take on their bottled aperitivo spirit. Where the 70cl bottle is designed as a mixing base, this comes pre-built as a spritz: carbonated, lightly sweetened, and ready straight from the fridge. It's positioned as an everyday grab-and-go option rather than a made-to-order cocktail. The flavour follows the Italian aperitif template closely — orange-forward with bitter citrus peel, some herbal depth, and a dry tannic finish from the kombucha and botanicals. It's not quite as layered as the bottled spirit mixed with soda, but the convenience format holds up reasonably well. The carbonation is light, and the mouthfeel stays clean rather than syrupy, which helps it feel more like a proper aperitif and less like a soft drink. Like all Smiling Wolf products, it contains the brand's proprietary Feel Good Blend — L-theanine, L-arginine, caffeine, and B vitamins. Whether that adds anything to the drinking experience is subjective, but it's real differentiation from other RTD spritz options. Vegan and gluten free. Available in cases of six or twelve online, and stocked in independent retailers.
