Festif is a new aperitif brand named after the French word for "festive" and its brand identity and essence capture the spirit of celebration. Made with wild and foraged Canadian herbs, the aperitif is made to be enjoyed at the start of a night with friends.
The joyful liqueur products are packaged with labels that take cues from European posters of the 1920s, characterized by dark backgrounds and colorful, bold typography. Both bottles subtly offer a nod to the glassware shape that's typically used for serving an aperitif, and the brand's herbal, citrus, floral Amaro variety plays with a blue color and bright, earthy, nutty and woodsy Choux uses yellow to differentiate itself visually.
