Long summer evenings, a table outside, friends arriving one by one… The aperitivo moment is a big moment. Across Italy — and now across the UK and beyond — it’s that golden hour between afternoon and dinner where drinks flow, plates are shared, and no one’s rushing anywhere.
But here’s the thing: if you’re not into bitter aperitifs or boozy spritzes, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing the “right” drink in your hand. That’s where CHANCE comes in.
A mindful take on the aperitivo drink
We’ve always believed that mindful drinking isn’t about missing out — it’s about leaning in. CHANCE, our crisp, non-alcoholic apple cider, fits right into the aperitivo vibe. It’s fresh, lightly sparkling, and easy to pair with all the salty, savoury, and snacky goodness that comes with the moment.
And now, you can try it at Prezzo. We’re stoked to be on their new menu as the non-alcoholic cider option — perfect for sipping with your pizza, pasta, or antipasti board.
Food Pairing: CHANCE + Alfresco Bites
If you’re building your own aperitivo spread (or hey, maybe ordering from Prezzo’s new menu), here’s how we’d pair it:
-
CHANCE + Olives & Almonds
Cider’s crisp apple bite cuts through briny olives and rich nuts, making each mouthful feel fresh again. -
CHANCE + Burrata & Tomatoes
The really good tomatoes. The light cider fizz balances the creaminess of burrata, while the apple notes lift ripe, sweet tomatoes. -
CHANCE + Cured Meats
From prosciutto to salami, CHANCE’s gentle acidity works like a palate reset between bites. -
CHANCE + Flatbreads & Generous Dips
Whether it’s hummus, whipped ricotta, or herby oils, cider’s subtle sweetness complements the savoury spread.
Why it works
Aperitivo is about slowing down. It’s a ritual of connection and small pleasures — exactly the kind of moment CHANCE was made for. You don’t have to swap your evening plans for a hangover, and you don’t have to pretend to like bitter aperitifs.
So whether you’re dining alfresco at home or tucking into pizza and antipasti at Prezzo, here’s your cue to take the moment, savour the food, and choose something that lets you show up fully.
