What is a French aperitif?
Tradition meets alcohol-free modernity: the aperitif is pure French joie de vivre. Traditionally, vermouth forms the heart of this culture: a wine refined with herbs and roots, flavoured and appreciated for its fine balance of sweetness and tart bitterness.
With the alcohol-free POLLY French Aperitif, we bring this elegance to your glass without the alcohol. Thanks to real wormwood and finely balanced botanicals, it is the ideal choice for anyone looking for an alcohol-free French aperitif.
Whether neat on ice or as a sparkling long drink: experience the complexity of a classic in a alcohol-free, conscious form.
How are French aperitifs usually drunk?
French drinking culture with a modern twist: while classic vermouth is often enjoyed neat, our alcohol-free French aperitif really comes into its own in creative mixed drinks.
The perfect mix: the intense herbal notes of wormwood remain present even when diluted and harmonise perfectly with fillers.
Signature Spritz: Mix it with wild berry lemonade or alcoholic-free sparkling wine for the ultimate spritz feeling.
As a long drink with tonic water and lots of ice, it creates a tart, mature drink with depth.
Creative cocktails: The ideal base for non-alcoholic drinks that need the structure and flair of the original.

The term "alcohol-free" is often equated with "without alcohol", but there is a subtle yet important difference. According to German food law, they are not synonyms. Here is the clear distinction:
Alcohol-free: A beverage may contain up to 0.5 per cent alcohol by volume.
0.0% or "non-alcoholic": A beverage must guarantee that it contains no alcohol, i.e. 0.0% by volume. It is therefore important for you to know that POLLY products are always alcohol-free by law and therefore contain less than 0.5% alcohol.
Please note: our products are not drunk neat, but mixed with a suitable mixer such as tonic water or lemonade. This further reduces the alcohol content of our drinks in the finished mixed drink.
