NIO Cocktails and Acqua di Parma have teamed up to offer the limited-edition Aperitivo In Terrazza cocktail box which promises an evening of bliss inspired by Italian tradition.

There’s so much to love about Italy! The mesmerising culture, the rustic food, the ancient architecture – and not forgetting the famous ritual of the Aperitivo.

Speaking of which, we’ve found a way to enjoy this Italian tradition without even stepping outside of your front door. (Because let’s face it, we probably won’t be able to travel aboard anytime soon.)

Introducing the ‘Aperitivo In Terrazza’ luxury cocktail box.

This limited edition creation was born through a partnership with premium Italian Cocktail brand NIO Cocktails and the luxurious Acqua di Parma.

The box – including an Italian citrus spice-based Acqua di Parma candle and two NIO Cocktails, the Negroni and the Cosmopolitan – offers an “immersive sensorial experience” through the Italian Aperitivo tradition.

In case you hadn’t enjoyed one yet, an ‘Aperitivo’ is a pre-meal drink that takes place at the end of a long day as a warm-up to your evening meal. It’s often enjoyed during sunset and is a ritual embraced across all regions of Italy.

The NIO Cocktails inside this limited-edition box include an authentic Negroni and a modern classic Cosmopolitan. The Negroni is a dry, sweet-sour balance of bitters, Cocchi Vermouth and Tanqueray Gin, while the Cosmo combines Ketel One Vodka, with tangy-sweet orange Cointreau, cranberry and lime.

Ready-to-drink NIO Cocktails are innovatively packaged in slim cardboard sleeves that are 100% recyclable. All you need to do is shake the sleeve, tear off the corner and pour over ice with no garnish needed.

They’re top-notch and really do taste as good as the premium cocktails you’re used to sipping in your favourite cocktail den or luxury hotel bar. That’s because each tipple is expertly-crafted and signed for by the well-known mixologist Patrick Pistolesi who oversees the entire NIO range.

You’ve got the makings of a perfect little evening with this luxury’ Aperitivo In Terrazza’ cocktail box, or it’ll make a thoughtful gift for a friend or family member who might be quarantining.
