Apéro, or apéritif, is a French way of life. It’s both a drink and an event, a time for getting together and enjoying a chat and pre-dinner drink. These days it’s just as likely to be an online reunion – but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun or funky! Preparing for apéro is part of the ritual: the drinks, whether it be wine, a glass of mellow Bardinet brandy, one of the leading French brandies in the UK, or a delicious cocktail. Plus the nibbles and music.
