Ghia Le Spritz Variety Pack
~$60 / 12-pack · Ready to drink · Ships Prime
Bottom Line
Ghia is genuinely excellent and the hype is mostly justified. The original Aperitif is complex, bitter, and beautifully designed — exactly what a high-end NA aperitif should be. The Le Spritz cans are even better value. If you like Aperol Spritz, Campari, or anything bitter-forward, Ghia belongs in your fridge.
About Ghia
Ghia was founded in 2020 by Mélanie Masarin, a former Glossier executive who gave up alcohol and couldn't find a sophisticated NA alternative that fit her lifestyle. The name references the Ghia design studio that shaped some of Porsche and Volkswagen's most iconic vehicles — and the visual identity of the brand carries that ethos: iconic, minimal, beautiful.
The business grew rapidly, with Ghia becoming a fixture at upscale restaurants, hotels, and boutique retailers like Whole Foods, Erewhon, and even Urban Outfitters. The brand now offers the original Aperitif, a Berry variant, and the Le Spritz canned range in several flavors.
Flavor Profile
The Ghia Aperitif opens with a powerful nose — you get ginger, citrus peel, elderflower, and something herbaceous and slightly earthy that comes from the gentian root and lemon balm in the formula. It's intense and aromatic before you even taste it.
On the palate, it's decisively bitter — not aggressive, but confidently so. Ginger is the dominant flavor, layered with pithy orange peel and a floral finish. It lingers. There's no sweetness to round off the edges, which is exactly right for an aperitif. The Berry version softens this with strawberry, blackberry, and raspberry while keeping the bitterness intact — a slightly more accessible entry point.

FAQ
What does Ghia taste like?
Ghia Aperitif has a bitter, complex profile with strong ginger, citrus peel, and floral notes. It's designed to be served as a spritz — mixed with sparkling water over ice with a citrus garnish. On its own it's very intense and bitter, similar to Campari but without the sweetness.
How do you drink Ghia?
The standard Ghia Spritz is 2 oz Ghia over ice, topped with 4 oz sparkling water, with a slice of lemon or orange. You can also use it as a base in more complex NA cocktails. The canned Le Spritz versions are ready-to-drink with no mixing required.
Is Ghia alcoholic?
No. Ghia is 0.0% ABV — it contains no alcohol. It is a non-alcoholic aperitif made from botanical extracts.
Where to buy Ghia?
Ghia is available at Whole Foods, Urban Outfitters (yes, really), Target, and on Ghia's website at drinkghia.com. The canned Le Spritz versions are also available on Amazon.
Is Ghia worth the price?
At $38 for a 16.5oz bottle, Ghia is priced in line with premium alcoholic spirits. If you enjoy bitter aperitif-style drinks and want a sophisticated non-alcoholic option, it's absolutely worth it. If you're not sure you like bitter flavors, try the Le Spritz cans first ($5–$6 per can) before committing to a bottle.
