Because while the booze takes a backseat, good taste certainly doesn’t have to. At The Vintage List, we believe the ritual of a beautifully made drink - the ice clinking, the pour, the sparkle of cut glass - deserves to be enjoyed, alcohol or not. Whether you’re abstaining for charity, curiosity, or simply for a clearer head, Sober October is the perfect moment to discover how refined an alcohol-free evening can feel.

A sophisticated take on the classic aperitif - all the ceremony, none of the consequences.

You’ll need:

• 75ml blood orange juice (fresh if possible)
• 50ml sparkling water
• 50ml non-alcoholic aperitif (try Everleaf, Lyre’s Italian Orange, or Æcorn Bitter)
• A squeeze of fresh lime
• A few rosemary sprigs for garnish
• Plenty of ice

To serve:

Fill one of our etched Bistro glasses with ice. Pour in the blood orange juice and aperitif, top with sparkling water, and finish with lime and rosemary. The result is crisp, citrusy, and elegant -  proof that alcohol-free doesn’t mean joy-free.

Let’s be honest - it’s not just what you drink, it’s how you drink it. The simple act of pouring a drink into something beautiful transforms the everyday into a small celebration. And if that celebration also supports a good cause, well, that’s something worth raising a glass to.
