Crodino: non-alcoholic bitter aperitif, produced since 1964 - 10 x 100 ml

I adored it instantly, you see. How could I not? It was as if the very spirit of the Riviera had been distilled into this bittersweet symphony—bitter enough to make me feel sophisticated and worldly (not like those cloying tourist sodas back home), sweet enough to whisper sweet nothings about endless aperitivo hours by the pool where everyone looks like they stepped out of Aarons’ lens: oiled skin, oversized shades, yachts bobbing in the background like obedient props. After days of al fresco feasts and those winding coastal drives (thank goodness for the Ferrari’s AC), this non-alcoholic charmer hit like a revelation. No headache the next morning for family explorations, just pure, crisp refreshment that made me feel lean, elegant, and utterly alive—the kind of drink that says, “Yes, darling, you belong here among the beautiful people, not sweating it out in some humid New York July.” Frankly, it was superior to anything else I sipped on the trip. The herbs and citrus danced on my tongue like a gentle Ligurian breeze ruffling my hair (which, I must say, was looking particularly windswept and photogenic). I could practically hear the click of an imaginary Slim Aarons shutter: me, mid-sip, with the Riviera’s golden light haloing my head, wife smiling indulgently nearby, kids off chasing gelato or soccer balls. Crodino didn’t just quench my thirst; it completed the fantasy. Back now, jet-lagged but glowing, I crave it like a talisman of that perfect escape. If only every mundane moment could taste like Riviera royalty in a bottle. Five stars, no question—my new summer essential. One bottle equals 100 ml or one glass over rocks. Just add an orange slice. No mixing necessary. Worth every 270 cents per bottle. And what a durable little bottle at 100 ml perfectly TSA compliant to transport you before takeoff if so inclined. visitairportcodes

The bottles were a bit smaller than I was expecting. I think they are smaller than the ones available in stores in Europe. Also seemed that they tasted a bit lighter than the ones I drank in Italy and The Netherlands Regardless they are delicious and a nice alcohol free alternative.

Ok, so it was hate at first sip. What nasty, bitter medicinal crap did I just spend way too much on?! But wait - the bitter fades and the aftertaste is creamy and sweet, mixing into a bittersweet addictive taste that leaves you craving another sip…and another! It’s a delicious adult beverage without alcohol, but with a delightful complexity. I love the small bottles that allow you to savor your drink without overindulgence regrets. If you are looking for something to enjoy on the porch or as a reward at the end of a long day, but you don’t want a cocktail, I can heartily recommend Crodino! Like a fancy herbal creamsicle with a craveable bite to it. Mmmmmm, I want one now!

I read about Cordino as an Italian non-alcohol alternative to Aperol. Mixed with soda water, it was tasty and reminiscent of an Aperol Spritz. However, a bottle is a tiny 4 inches tall. During shipment, one leaked and left me with 2 inches in that bottle and stickiness on the other bottles. Debating whether the cost is worth it. May visit local Italian stores to compare.

So glad they sell these here, I tasted them in a restaurant and it's as close as it gets to a real spritz, without alcohol! I'll be reordering them!

Like Chinotto, Crodino is a bittersweet Apertivo-type beverage best sipped as an accompaniment to antipasti, if you eschew alcohol. I think it's delicious and refreshing, albeit not inexpensive. The bottles are very small.

I love Aperol but this similar product is really nasty. It’s alcohol free which I found interesting. But the aftertaste was horrible. I wish I could return these.

Had my first taste of Crodino 25 years ago at a restaurant in Rome. This orange bitter is actually preferred by many non-alcohol drinkers in Italy. It is best enjoyed when poured over ice with a slice of orange and is definitely a “slow-sip.” The perfect mixer drink at a party!

Tastes lovely great to be able to get this in England

Make Espresso, add ice, add Crodino!

Schnell geliefert, toller Geschmack. Nur die KI meint analcolico sei Alkohol und verlangt bei der Bestellung den Personalausweis, absonderlich.
