“The pleasure began with the arrival of my bottle, immaculately delivered in it's funky, witty, colourful packaging. My expectations were high, but I was astonished by my first taste; it was a complex, joyful mix of herbal, sweet, bitter flavours that stayed on the palate for ages. I know the tradition of wormwood aperitifs very well, but this must be the best of those iterations, and the lack of alcohol does not diminish the experience one little bit. Just delighted!”
“First had this in a restaurant in Bristol. Just loved it. Got myself a Soda Stream at home and thought I'd treat myself. Absolutely delicious - perfect botanical refresher, filled with complex flavours. Got to be careful to pace yourself though - very easy to start gulping it down all day!”
“Too often non alcohol ‘spirits’ are expensive but feel a bit light and insubstantial, or just loaded with dense botanicals making it overwhelming. Botivo Batch21 is complex, light and refreshing. Love love the slightly sweet/slightly sour taste experience. Well worth the effort to obtain directly from Botivo. And I’ll just mention that the packaging the bottle come in is superlative, befitting the quality of the product.”
“Saw this advertised by a couple of well know chefs and having cut down on alcohol but liking to try something as an alternative ordered a bottle to try .
Expectations were medium low , but 1 sip later and both my wife and I looked at each other and said , that’s different but in a good way. By the end of the glass we were both sold on it as a great drink for anytime you want something refreshing and full of flavour. On to bottle number 4 and it’s a definite must have . Well worth trying.”
“I'm disappointed to say that this just isn't for me. I don't like sweet drinks so was looking forward to trying Botivo. I found it unusual in that the taste was quite nice but there was a bitterness that lingered and was too much for me. I'm sure we perhaps have different sensitivities to the tastes so it would suit others. Also to note I don't like Aperol spritz either so maybe it is that same bitterness.”
