What is a zero-proof aperitif?
A zero-proof aperitif is a 0.0% ABV bitter-citrus bottle built for spritzes and stirred red-bitter serves — not a juice mocktail. In Singapore that is Signorina Valentina. It carries more sugar than the dry spirits (4.8 g / 30 ml) because an aperitif needs that structure when you add soda or vermouth.
Aperitif, not a soft drink
What is a zero-proof aperitif in a bar spec? It is one of the non-alcoholic spirits you pour 1:1 where Campari-style bitterness would sit, then lengthen with soda or pair with alcohol-free vermouth. It is not a cordial you drown in orange juice.
The bottle here is Signorina Valentina. Mix with Countess Cora for a Negroni-style or spritz build. See how to mix zero-proof spirits.

Why it tastes sweeter
Dry alcohol-free spirits such as Miss Agave sit at 0.6 g sugar / 30 ml. Valentina sits at 4.8 g — still modest next to a bottled mocktail, high next to tequila style. That is the style, not a fault. Panels: sugar and calories (about 21 kcal / 30 ml).
A juice-heavy “spritz” is still a mocktail. Zero-proof versus mocktails.
