The right place

It’s always better when sitting next to the Mediterranean watching the sun go down.

But I bought a bottle last week to try an recreate those moments.

The orange one initially tastes like Irn Bru then the bitterness kicks in, like you've been drinking battery acid.

Vile stuff (vomit)

All a matter of opinion and what your taste buds like

Very true. I don't like Pimms either - I imagine if you like one, you'll like the other.

Usually served with an olive in Venice.

We substitute the soda for a splash of lemonade as it just takes the bitter taste away. Love it on a hot sunny day. Was our drink of choice at Jardin de Babylone in Cap d'Agde.

Never tried it but it does look appetising. Is it an orange flavoured alcoholic fizzy cocktail?

Pershore

If you like lemons you can make a Limoncello Spritz the same way. But be careful, Limoncello is more than twice the strength of Aperol.
