Casamara Club ‘Sera’ Botanical Soda, Detroit, MI

Casamara Sera is a botanical soda showcasing “Riviera style, apero spritz aromatics. Tart grapefruit with delicate spice. Ruby grapefruit and cinnamon, bracingly bitter.” Finally, non-alcoholic products with real personality that don’t lean on sweetness to deliver a fun and engaging drinking experience! These aromatic sparkling beverages are made from botanicals inspired by Italian Amaro, a bitter elixir to aid in the digestion process after a long meal. They are light, fun, dry and intensely aromatic. Erica Johnson and Jason LaValla created Casamara to prove non-alcoholic products can be interesting. In their own words, “Each botanical is extracted separately, then blended with real sugar into balanced formulas. Recipes are developed for chefs and bartenders who understand how drinks work with food: dry enough to pair, complex enough to stand alone.”
