Campari Group Is Bringing More Italian Spritzes To Singapore

Campari Group is expanding its Italian aperitivo portfolio across Southeast Asia, bringing four new names to join Aperol and Campari. The six-strong line-up spans everything from bright and fruity to bold and bitter, as well as alcohol-free options, giving Singapore drinkers more ways to embrace the Italian tradition of an aperitivo: that golden hour before dinner spent catching up with friends over a light drink and something to eat. At the centre of it all is the spritz, traditionally made with an aperitif, prosecco and a splash of soda.

Joining Aperol and Campari are Sarti, a vibrant pink aperitif with notes of blood orange, mango and passion fruit; Cynar, an artichoke-based aperitif with a more herbal, bittersweet profile; Mondoro, a premium sparkling option; and Crodino, the alcohol-free Italian aperitivo that has been around since 1965. Leading the regional expansion is Sarti Rosa, which has been gaining attention in Europe and the US for its fruity, approachable character and striking rosé-pink colour. With Singapore's year-round warm weather, busy bar scene and appetite for lighter, social drinking occasions, Campari Group sees the city as the starting point for bringing its take on aperitivo culture to the region.

In Singapore, the group will also host a series of masterclasses led by brand ambassador Bystrik Uko, where guests can learn how to build the perfect spritz, including Sarti, and recreate the aperitivo hour at home. The sessions will explore the different serves across the portfolio, alongside the food and hosting rituals that make aperitivo more than just a pre-dinner drink.

Writers Bar is giving cocktail hour an Italian twist with the launch of Aperitivo Hour, a permanent new addition starting from 9 September 2026. Available every Tuesday to Thursday from 7pm to 9pm, the literary-inspired bar will serve six cocktails designed around the gentle bitterness and herbal notes that define the classic aperitivo. Expect live music, a lively atmosphere, and plenty of excuses to settle in for a drink or two before the rest of the evening begins. 

The menu puts approachable spins on Italian classics, including The Easy Choice, a sparkling combination of Aperol, dry vermouth, watermelon, and Champagne, as well as Garibaldino, which adds mezcal to Campari, orange, and mandarin for a smoky taste. Summer in Milan takes the Negroni in a tropical direction with coconut and mango foam, while the Little Dirty Bamboo combines sherry, vermouth Bénédictine, and olive brine. Better still, Writers Bar has also refreshed its food pairings with new additions to their bites menu including Beef Tartare Costini, Lobster Roll, and Frozen Tomato Bruschetta. Think of this as the best way to ease into the Raffles Hotel charm.
