Bittersweet wild-plant aperitif — served at All Spice San Mateo
Casamara Club was founded in Portland, Oregon with a clear mission: make non-alcoholic drinks that feel as sophisticated as the best cocktail bar offerings. Superclasico is their flagship — named for the South American football rivalry, it is their most complex and bitter expression, built on a blend of wild-harvested plants, herbs, and roots that recall Italian Amaro tradition. At All Spice, it is poured over ice and served as the restaurant's aperitif-moment option for non-drinkers. The experience is genuinely similar to a Campari or Aperol Spritz opening — bitter, aromatic, slightly sweet, with a long herbal finish. No alcohol, no compromise.
Casamara Club Superclasico is best served over a large ice cube — it opens up as it chills and dilutes slightly, revealing layers of bitterness and botanicals. Available at Whole Foods, Erewhon, and online at casamaraclub.com. The Leisure and Club Roma expressions from the same brand are lighter and fruitier alternatives.
All Spice in San Mateo is a long-standing Bay Area favourite that has elevated South Asian fine dining for over a decade. The mocktail programme reflects the kitchen's philosophy — premium non-alcoholic ingredients (adaptogens, botanical sodas, house-crafted shrubs) in recipes that are as carefully considered as anything on the cocktail list. A model for how a serious restaurant handles zero-proof drinks.
