A Summer Treat

Pampelle, a delicious aperitif to arrive from the French island Corsica, is now available in South Africa - and the latest brand to be added to premium drinks company, Truman & Orange’s portfolio. Pampelle is made from handpicked grapefruits from the sun drenched French island of Corsica, nestled in the idyllic Mediterranean Sea. The hero of this complex aperitif is the Star Ruby Grapefruit that gives it its bitter-sweet taste. Pampelle and tonic is delicious – and no special tonic is needed, as the fresh burst of grapefruit really comes through in any cocktail serve. Alternatively, you could have it as a spritz. This artisanal contradiction of bitter-sweet citrus and natural botanicals is also delicious in a signature cocktail, topped with Champagne and a little soda water. The good news is that Pampelle is naturally lower in sugar than other leading Spirit Aperitifs and best enjoyed chilled, so you can enjoy it guilt-free. Pampelle is available in 750ml bottles for R399 at all premium bottle stores nationwide.
