Alta
A Torino sidewalk café at dusk. Aperitivo hour in full swing.
Classic aperitivo aromatics with an extra dry finish. Flavor is reminiscent of a Negroni—pink citrus bite, warm fruity spice—with the crisp, refreshing character of a sparkling wine. Explore our other flavors →
Serve cold. Everything else is optional.
We prefer to enjoy the cans as-is, but the bottles are carbonated a bit higher so we sometimes suggest pouring a bit into small, unfussy glassware. We especially like a highball, low tumbler, or Picardie.
Let the aromatics bloom as the temperature rises, and keep the bottle close so you can top off or share as you go.
Alta Highball
Start with your spirit of choice and ice at the bottom of your favorite small, unfussy glassware. Pour your soda down the wall of the glass, not directly over the ice.
We prefer the bottles for mixing, because they are carbonated higher but cans will do. Garnish with an orange twist.
We think Alta mixes particularly well with dry gin, for a Negroni soda.

Add gin, lemon, and simple syrup to an ice-filled Collins glass, and stir. Top with Alta, stir gently.
Our botanical sodas' extra dry taste profile make each of them inherently versatile for mixing. We have yet to find a pairing that doesn't work. However, we find Alta goes especially well with pepperoni pizza, charcuterie, and happy hour oysters.
