Sarti Rosa Enters U.S. Liquor Stores at $29.99 as Viral Pink Spritz Challenges Aperol

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 16

Summary

  • $29.99 bottles of Sarti Rosa are now reaching select U.S. liquor stores, marking the Italian aperitif’s first official American rollout after months of online buzz.
  • TikTok and Instagram demand helped drive the launch, with fans posting sightings from cities including Boston and New York and pressing the brand to expand stateside.
  • Drink Company co-founder Derek Brown said the 14% ABV liqueur’s pink color, fruity profile and limited supply make it highly shareable, though it still has not reached bars widely.
  • Restaurants are already testing that demand: New York’s The Farm Italy said its Sarti-based “Saint Sarti Spritz” has been a sellout, with customers requesting the drink for large parties.
  • The launch puts Sarti Rosa into the fast-growing spritz market, where Brown says it has momentum but still trails the Hugo Spritz and must prove it can rival Aperol.
