The POLLY Italian Sour: The last hours of summer in a glass
Summer is drawing to a close. The days are getting shorter, but memories of sunny afternoons and balmy evenings remain. With our POLLY Italian Sour and our POLLY Italian Aperitif, we bring that feeling back to life. This drink perfectly captures the essence of summer: an elegant balance of bittersweet flavors, sparkling freshness, and a velvety smooth texture.
The Italian Sour is a sophisticated variation of the classic sour, proving that even non-alcoholic drinks can be a true taste experience. It's the perfect homage to the golden hour and the ideal companion for bid farewell to the last rays of sunshine in style.
