Wilderton Bittersweet Non-Alcoholic Aperitivo

It's zesty and bittersweet, led by grapefruit peel, orange blossom, and aromatic bitter herbs. The result is a sophisticated, complex aperitivo flavor without the alcohol.

Top it with sparkling water for a Spritz, or swap it in for Campari in a Garibaldi. It also makes a great alcohol-free Negroni.

Each bottle is 750 ml, and Wilderton Bittersweet is gluten-free.

Wilderton was founded in 2019 by Brad Whiting and Seth O'Malley, two veterans of Oregon's craft spirits scene, and the brand is based in Hood River, Oregon. In July 2023 they opened what was reported to be the country's first distillery and tasting room dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic spirits, at 407 Portway Avenue on the Hood River waterfront. Please note that the founders announced in January 2026 that the company is shutting down; the tasting room closed in August 2025 and the distillery was set to close at the end of January 2026.

For a drink to be legally non-alcoholic, it has to be 0.5% alcohol by volume or less. While this doesn't make it totally alcohol-free, it does mean it is impossible to experience any intoxication or other psychoactive effects from alcohol. For context, a slice of sourdough bread or a ripe banana has more alcohol by volume than any of our drinks!

We carry a few hundred different products on our website with all different ingredients. We suggest you consult with your doctor regarding specific ingredients. Everything we carry is non-alcoholic-- less than 0.5% ABV-- and very popular with our customers who are pregnant (and those who aren't, too)!

Some of our products contain adaptogens, nootropics, and other herbs that are not recommended for people who are pregnant, but we're not doctors and do not give medical advice. Every body and pregnancy is different, so we suggest talking to a healthcare professional if you're unsure.

Not all of our non-alcoholic beverages are 100% alcohol-free. Some contain trace amounts of alcohol at less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.  This is consistent with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s labeling policy, which permits the use of the term, “non-alcoholic” to describe a product that contains less than 0.5% alcohol by volume.

If you are looking for products that are 0.0% alcohol by volume, look for the "Alcohol-Free" badge on the product page.

Non-alcoholic spirits are specifically developed for mixing in non-alcoholic cocktails. These spirits taste great when mixed with soda water, tonic water, sodas, juices, and even other non-alcoholic spirits, but they might taste a little weird on their own. You're welcome to try them neat (we can't stop you!), but we don't recommend assessing whether or not you like a non-alcoholic spirit without mixing it, first.
