Scarlet Bitter Aperitivo 2024 Liqueur 700ml
Scarlet Bitter Aperitivo 2024 delivers a structured blend of gentian root, lemon verbena, and orange peel in a 700 ml format designed for consistent cocktail balancing and direct pouring.
The aromatic profile opens with cool menthol and earthy myrrh, while roasted espresso and red fruit notes anchor the base. On the palate, velvety textures carry flavors of wild strawberry, aloe, and white pepper, transitioning through clove and sandalwood before closing with a crisp, drying finish driven by prickly ash acidity.
This herbal liqueur integrates cleanly into classic Italian-style drinks and modern mixed beverages. Dilute it over ice with chilled tonic water and a twist of lemon zest to highlight its botanical brightness, or build it as a Negroni variation using equal parts gin and sweet vermouth. The bitter backbone also cuts through rich fats and salty curing agents.
Suggested pairings- Salted almonds, marcona almonds, or house-made crisps
- Charcuterie boards featuring prosciutto, soppressata, and aged pecorino
- Olive oil-brined olives and sun-dried tomato tapenade
