Aperitivo Cocchi Rosa 750ml

The rose petal note actually comes through on the nose, not just the label—it makes the whole pour feel a bit special. I’ve been mixing it with soda and a twist of orange for an easy evening drink, and the saffron-vanilla finish keeps it interesting without being heavy.

Pouring this over ice with a splash of soda, the citrus and gentle vanilla sweetness came through beautifully without being cloying. It’s quickly become my go-to for a lighter evening drink, and that rose petal finish lingers just enough to feel special.

The saffron and rose petal notes make this much more interesting than a standard sweet vermouth. It’s surprisingly complex for the price, and the citrus finish keeps it from being cloying. I’ve been sipping it with soda water on hot afternoons.
