This summer, make the English-made AKER, your aperitif of choice. A celebration of English producers and produce, you can taste acres of English countryside in every single drop. With two British expressions formed by the marriage of England’s leading producers – Chapel Down and Capreolus Distillery – AKER represents an aspiration that goes beyond tradition and creates a new and contemporary English aperitif culture.
A blend of Chapel Down’s award-winning Bacchus wine with exquisite Comice pear eau de vie from the groundbreaking Capreolus Distillery, newly launched AKER English Dry Aperitif is crafted to perfection and bursting with the flavours of an English orchard in full bloom – green apple, juicy pear and elderflower blossom. Already becoming a staple in summer drinks cabinets, AKER English Dry Aperitif’s balanced botanicals create a crisp and delicately dry aperitif with notes of flora and citrus – perfect for sipping alongside light, homemade snacks as well as olives, nuts and cheeses.
For those who prefer a fruitier blend, AKER English Rosé Aperitif is the ultimate summer sipping serve of choice. A blend of world-class rosé wine and luxurious raspberry eau de vie, discerning drinks can enjoy notes of strawberries and cream. Combining the richness of wild fruit in bloom with the lightness of first dawn on a summer’s day, this refreshing mix is the ideal light, long and low ABV aperitif accompaniment for your next alfresco rendezvous.
Be inspired by AKER and their uniquely English aperitif serve suggestions:
- A Rosé Afternoon: Simply pour 60ml of AKER English Roséinto a wine glass filled with ice. Add a dash of soda (100ml), and why not top with freshly picked English strawberries for added freshness?
- Orchard Walk: Using an ice-filled Collins glass, pour 60ml of AKER English Dry and top up with 100ml of tonic water. Garnish with a slice of sweet pear, or for that added aromatic twist, consider adding a herbaceous sprig of rosemary. Stir and enjoy. Perfection.
