Ghia's own ratio is one part to three parts bubbles — sparkling water, tonic, or even kombucha — over ice. It is built to be lengthened rather than sipped neat.

Is there any added sugar?

None. The panel reads zero added sugars. The 3 grams in a serving come from the fruit, and it is 58 percent juice.

How long does it keep once opened?

Three weeks, refrigerated. That is on the bottle, and it is shorter than most bottles in this category.

About Original

Ghia Original in 500 mL, bottled in Los Angeles. Vibrant and fresh with a firm bitterness and a kick of citrus.

It is 58 percent juice — white grape, yuzu and plum — with gentian and rhubarb root behind them for the bitterness and elderflower and lemon balm on top. There are no added sugars at all; what sweetness it has comes from the fruit.

The producer's own ratio is one part Ghia to three parts bubbles, so sparkling water, tonic or kombucha over ice. Refrigerate after opening and drink within three weeks. Contains no alcohol.

About Drink Ghia

Everything from this producer

A French founder in Los Angeles who set out to make a bitter aperitif rather than an imitation of one.

Mélanie Masarin grew up in France and spent her summers with family near the Mediterranean. She read economics at Brown, worked as a financial analyst, then ran retail and offline experiences at Glossier before leaving to make a drink she could not find.

She wanted a bitter aperitif rather than a substitute for anything. Working with a food scientist, and paying for it out of her savings, she went through dozens of formulations, holding the bitterness while early tasters pushed her toward something sweeter and easier to place. Ghia launched in June 2020 with 1,200 bottles.

The Berry followed, and the bottles are still made in Los Angeles. The name is borrowed from an Italian car designer.

New to Aperitif / Digestif?

Bitterness comes from botanicals — gentian, cinchona bark, citrus peel — and never needed alcohol to work, which is why this category translates directly. What varies is how much sugar balances it, and that figure is here.
