Why Sommer?
We take everything that’s wonderful about the classic bittersweet aperitif – complexity of method and ingredients, elegantly moreish flavours – and express it with our own lighthearted flourish. Why? Just because. In fact our name Sommer literally means just because. Life’s for living not overthinking.
The Flavour
Sommer rhubarb and raspberry bittersweet aperitif is a perfectly balanced and deliciously distinct blend of fruit, herbs and spices, all sustainably sourced. Scottish raspberries deliver a fresh, juicy acidity with floral sweetness while rhubarb brings a refreshing tart and tangy flavour, with citrussy undertones. A combination of 36 herbs and spices, including lemon thyme, gentian root and cinchona bark help achieve the perfect aroma and bitter finish.
The Making
We make our bittersweet aperitifs at our very own distillery in Kettlesing, Yorkshire, where we control every nuance of the making, from selecting each botanical through to blending and bottling.
The Perfect Occasion
Elegantly low in ABV, Sommer is matchmade for the spritz and suits any occasion – a lunchtime tipple on the terrace, straight after work, or into the evening and beyond.
Make Your Own Sommer Spritz
Our 3-2-1 serve is easy to make and even easier to drink.
