With the holidays quickly arriving, now is the time to make sure your bar cart is fully stocked — with Ghia, one of our favorite nonalcoholic aperitifs. The signature bottle is 20 percent off right now (and the discount increases, up to 35 percent, the more you add to your order). Other products on the brand’s site are marked down up to 42 percent, including its ready-to-drink canned spritzes.
The original aperitif leans bitter and is made with elderflower, yuzu, fig, rosemary, and ginger. It’s delicious straight, in mocktails, and as an ingredient if you do want to mix it with booze. It’s “my go-to because I can add sparkling juices and fruit juices, but it can also be more sophisticated and deeper on its own,” says recipe developer Mehreen Karim (who isn’t the only food person to tell us it’s a hosting essential). Even if you’re not planning on throwing any soirées of your own, snag a few to bring as gifts as you make the party rounds.
