Aperol or Apritzo Spritz Recipe Using Cask Wine (From Aldi) (New Aperol Impressence Essence)

[KegLand-com-au]

We are blessed in Australia to have access to very cheap wine , I see no reason why a cask wine wouldn't work, at the end of the day once its all blended up with the aperol/glampari you would have super taste buds to differentiate between a carbonated cask wine and bottled Prosecco. I will give it a go with a 10lt keg and see how it turns out. I will email you guys with order number , when do you think you will be re stocking the Glampari ?

The name "Glampari" was a little to close to "Campari" so we now call this Red Italian Bitter but it's the same product inside the sachet.

We are out of stock as we have run out of raw materials. 2 of the raw materials are currently being shipped from Italy and should arrive next week. So I would say should have more of the Glampari/Campari/Red Italian Bitter on the website in about 2 weeks.

I will try this recipe tomorrow, would there be any benefit from using sparkling water instead of still ?

No benefit whatsoever. I guess you are probably going to be topping up the carbonation level a bit with CO2 anyway so you may as well just use the still water right from the beginning as it's cheaper.

Yeah true i forgot how little the amount of water is in it.

Just out of interest have you tried using inexpensive cask wine? A lot of our customers have the ability to carbonate in the keg so I think it's not really worth the cost of purchasing actual prosecco as many of the inexpensive fruity dry white wines you can get in the cask are pretty similar once they are carbonated.

Thanks for your feedback on this one fortmonty. What was your order number? I will send you a gift voucher!

Hi just a further update on your product. I did a small batch of spritz using cask wine and a blend of both the campari & apperol mix . I carbonated it in small keg and it was smashed by my family in no time. I am going to order up some more for summer holiday period now you guys have more stock in . I forgot to send you details of my order for the voucher , details are Order #376603. I am also thinking of trialing your take on the Irish Cream as well. Cheers

Hi I used a 2 Lt cask of white wine from Dans' ( In Top Company pinot grigio $7.99 ) , 1.33 Lt of mixed campari / aperol ( ratio was probably 2/3 campari 1/3 aperol as I prefer it a bit more bitter) poured into 8 Lt keg and topped up with 660 ml still water . I turned up pressure on regulator to 35psi and charged up keg . I gradually increased pressure on regulator until pressure release valve kicked in at which point I eased off a bit. The idea being to try and get as much C02 into the mixture as possible. I let this sit , swirling keg every few days by week 2 it was well carbonated and fizzy enough to make a great spritz. It can be a bit bitter for some people however once you put in ice and some more soda and a couple of slices of orange its a as good as what you will get at any of the fancy bars.

I have ordered some more to get us through the summer.

Again, well done guys you really nailed this.

Cheers
