Botivo, the non-alcoholic aperitivo brand, has launched a Wintery Botanical Aperitivo, a seasonal limited edition built for festive drinking and gifting. It leans into warm, spiced notes of date molasses, allspice, clove and vanilla, with a hint of smoky saffron layered over the brand's signature bittersweet base.

Like the core range, it is handmade in small batches at Lannock Farm in Hertfordshire, with the brand saying each batch takes around a year from start to finish. The ingredient list includes British apple cider vinegar, honey, gentian root and date molasses.
The drink comes in a 500ml bottle at £30, which Botivo says makes 20 serves. The suggested pour is 25ml topped with soda or hot water and garnished with orange peel, or mixed into a cocktail with a spirit. A gift tube is available separately for £3.50.
The launch taps the fast-growing no- and low-alcohol category heading into its peak season, giving Botivo a festive, giftable hook for the Christmas trading period.
