Summer's just around the corner and you can already feel the vacations approaching. What better way to celebrate the first signs of summer than with a Provençal aperitif?
Eyguebelle was inspired to create this original range of aperitifs by the Provençal art of living, where the love of genuine, gourmet products and the atypical flavours of a region predominate.
Here are 3 simple ideas for aperitifs with a Provençal flavour to take your senses on a journey.
Are you familiar with Rosé Pamplemousse? This typically Provençal drink will take you straight to the seaside just by smelling it. Rosé Pamplemousse is a blend of rosé wine and grapefruit juice.
Eyguebelle offers you a recipe for Rosé Pamplemousse La Marquise that will not leave you indifferent. Highly aromatic on the palate, perfectly balanced, it's the ideal drink for an aperitif with friends...
A light drink with only 10% alcohol, and very refreshing with its citrus notes of grapefruit. Rosé Pamplemousse is the perfect way to start a meal with a simple, delicious aperitif.
Tip : Rosé Pamplemousse is best served chilled over ice, to make the cicadas sing at aperitif time.
You can use Rosé Pamplemousse to make an even more original Provençal cocktail, the Pink Mum cocktail: see recipe.
That's for sure. You already know Pastis, the number 1 aperitif in France after Kir. But do you know the real taste of an artisanal Pastis?
You'll love the fresh taste of aniseed and licorice in Ælred Pastis Artisanal. You'll also find notes of spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
With its distinctive taste, this artisanal Pastis sets itself apart from classic Pastis. It delights the taste buds and refreshes.
An unmistakable scent of Provence and the game of pétanque is associated with this southern drink.
This highly aromatic 45% alcohol Pastis is best drunk on the rocks with water. You can also add a touch of orgeat syrup for an even more refreshing variation.

Melonade d'Eyguebelle (12% alcohol) is an aperitif with a Drôme Provençale flavour. Produced directly in this region, Melonade finds its inspiration in the song of the cicadas, but above all in the orchards, vineyards and lavender fields of this magnificent fruit-growing region.
Eyguebelle has chosen to work exclusively with cavaillon melon growers to bring you the very best fruit flavor.
Made with Cavaillon melon juice and cane sugar, Melonade has the scent of sun-drenched melon.A summer favorite, Melonade can be enjoyed straight from the ice, where it reveals sweet, fruity notes.
Tip: We recommend this aperitif as an accompaniment to foie gras, Roquefort cheese or cured ham, for a perfect blend of sweet and savoury.
