3 Low Alcoholic Aprtf Cocktails to try at home

3 Easy to make at home, low ABV cocktails. Featuring one perfect for ending Sober October and rocking into Halloween night this October the 31st

Later in the month we will be chatting all about non-alcoholic serves with the Smartblend partner that is APRTF Bitter Aperitif. But for today, we are talking all about those low alcoholic serves. In particular, 3 low alcoholic cocktails which you can easily make at home with little equipment and little cocktail experience.

For those who don’t know, APRTF Bitter Aperitif is a good friend of ours here at Smartblend. We recently wrote an article about just how great they are, which you can find here: The non alcoholic aperitif for cocktail lovers. 

It’s basically a non alcoholic Campari substitute that was created right here in the UK and is perfect for all your bittersweet non and low alcoholic drinking needs. Low calorie, Vegan Friendly and perfect for adding all those bitter Campari like notes to cocktails without adding extra booze. 

Although it's great for non alcoholic serves, I like to think of APRTF Bitter Aperitif much like a adult mixer. Mixing with low alcohol serves to create an amazing depth of flavour. 

Here are 2 of my favourite and most simple to re-create serves with an added special just for Halloween.
