Detroit, Michigan, September 2024 – Casamara Club, the cult-favorite line of refreshing botanical sodas, launches its first non-alcoholic cocktail, Superclasico. An evolution of their best-selling botanical soda, Alta, Superclasico is a vibrant, full-flavored, bitter spritz. Beloved by award-winning restaurants and bars nationwide, Casamara Club has been named one of the best nonalcoholic soda lines by outlets like Wirecutter, Bon Appetit, Vanity Fair, Coveteur, and others. Casamara Club is available online for national shipping, and can be found across the country at Michelin-starred restaurants, James Beard Award-winning bars, and independent retailers.
SUPERCLASICO
Superclasico is a non-alcoholic, full-flavored, demi-sec aperitivo reminiscent of the classic Negroni cocktail and the cult-favorite Italian soda, Sanbittèr. Approached with the same care and dedication as a full spirit cocktail, Suprclasico is a layered soda spritz that takes you through a beginning, middle and end, an integral process for every bartender in creating a well-balanced beverage. With each sip, Superclasico takes you on a journey – with punchiness from Chinotto and brightness from juniper berries as the primary notes, quickly followed by depth from the tannin from red currants, kola nut and allspice, and rounded out with a pleasant, lingering bitterness from Chinotto and orris root, softened by Madagascar vanilla. It’s made with real ingredients (including real sugar instead of zero-calorie sweeteners) and has no artificial flavors.
With a retro copper and navy striped can, the design nods to some of the team’s favorite Italian scenes from the 1960’s (from Steve McQueen documentaries to iconic F1 races in Italy) and is meant to complement moments of leisure, whenever and wherever you are.
