Ghia
Non-alcoholic Mediterranean botanical aperitif
artisanal liqueur 0.0% ABV 750ml non-alcoholic
Historical Context
Founded in California in 2020, Ghia built a non-alcoholic aperitif around Mediterranean botanicals — gentian, yuzu, and fig — aimed at the bitter, low-sugar end of the aperitivo spectrum.
What Does Ghia Taste Like?
Gentian and yuzu bitterness over fig, elderflower, and riesling vinegar — dry, tart, and herbaceous rather than sweet, with a lingering bitter finish.
Flavor Evolution
Allow 30-60 seconds between each stage to experience the flavor evolution.
