ORES APERITIF is a bittersweet liqueur, inspired by Athenian bars and Ancient Greece. An original recipe with fragrant citrus fruits, strawberries, Greek herbs, bitter roots and marjoram. It is enjoyed at any time of the day.
In Greek mythology, the “Ores” [Ώρες – means «Times» in Greek] were the helpers of the Sun, goddesses of the seasons and time responsible for maintaining the natural order and the passing of the seasons. They were often associated with the cycles of nature and the changing of the seasons.
The Aperitif is typically a drink consumed before a meal to stimulate the appetite. It marks the transition from the activities of the day to the dining experience, serving as a prelude to a meal.
The connecting element is the idea of transition and the passage of time. The Ores represent the cyclical nature of time in the natural world, while an aperitif marks the transition from one part of the day to another, specifically from daily activities to the dining ritual. Both concepts involve a sense of rhythm, change, and transition.
The Ores are depicted on the aperitif label dancing hand in hand, around a golden-red circle that symbolizes the sun and the cyclical nature of time, change and transition from one moment of the day to the next.
