The Art of Aperitivo: Unwind After Work with Ambra Spirits

The Art of Aperitivo: Unwind After Work with Ambra Spirits

In Italy, there's a time of day when everything slows down — the work is done, the sun begins to dip, and people gather to enjoy a drink, a snack, and each other’s company. It’s called Aperitivo, and at Ambra Spirits, we’ve brought this beautiful ritual to life right here in Adelaide.

If you’re looking for a better way to unwind after work, forget the rush-hour pub crowds — and discover The Art of Aperitivo at Ambra in Thebarton.

🍹 What Is Aperitivo, Exactly?

Aperitivo is more than just pre-dinner drinks — it’s a mindset.

Traditionally enjoyed between 4pm and 7pm, it’s about:

• Light, refreshing cocktails or wines

• Small savoury bites designed to stimulate the appetite

• Good conversation in a relaxed, welcoming setting

It’s the perfect way to transition from work mode to leisure mode — no rush, no pressure, just connection, flavour and ease.

🍋 Ambra's Take on Aperitivo

At Ambra Spirits, we’ve reimagined the classic Aperitivo with a South Australian twist. As a working distillery, our cocktails are built around our own handcrafted liqueurs — bold, zesty and refreshing.

Some crowd favourites:

• Limoncello Spritz – the ultimate post-work pick-me-up

• Blood Orange Negroni – bittersweet and beautifully balanced

• Passionfruit Ambratini – fruity, flirty and dangerously good

Pair it with a seasonal grazing board or antipasto platter, and you’ve got the ultimate after-work ritual.

🪴 A Space Made for Unwinding

Located just minutes from the CBD, Ambra is a short drive (or Uber) away from most offices — with plenty of free parking and a relaxed, leafy vibe that instantly helps you switch off.

Whether you're winding down solo, catching up with colleagues, or meeting friends before dinner, our space is:

• Stylish but welcoming

• Quiet enough to chat, lively enough to feel social

• Perfect for “just one drink” that turns into three

🧡 No Reservation? No Problem.
