This £5 Christmas card comes with two free drinks at Manchester bar saving £15

A charity Christmas card that costs less than the price of a pint at Manchester Christmas Markets can save shoppers £15 on drinks at the bar. The £5 card comes with a voucher that can be redeemed at All Bar One for two drinks, usually worth £20.

Aperol - the Italian aperitivo brand - has teamed up with All Bar One with their first-ever range of Merry Spritzmas cards.

The cards, available in three vibrant designs , double up as a gift, including a complimentary pair of Aperol Spritz for the sender and recipient to enjoy at All Bar One across England and Wales, including their Manchester branch on King Street.

The innovative cards aim to encourage spontaneous ‘get togethers’ outside of the Christmas rush, allowing friends ample time to organise a social tipple after the busy festive period.

It comes as almost three quarters (72 per cent) of the UK say they will value the presence of loved ones more than receiving presents this year, and one fifth of Brits revealed they would most like to be gifted with an experience to enjoy with a friend/loved one this year.

The cards have been created in collaboration with Bristol-based artist Bett Norris , and come in Aperol brand colours with festive illustrations of the cocktail.

All of the proceeds from the sale of each Merry Spritzmas card will go to hospitality charity The Drinks Trust, providing support to the hospitality workforce, both past and present, as the cost-of-living crisis continues.

The cards cost £5 each and unlock the two drinks at All Bar One, saving around £15. The drinks vouchers can be used from January 1, 2023 to February 28, 2023.

Aperol’s range of Merry Spritzmas cards are available to buy now for £5 from the Aperol Spritz UK Esty shop .
