Leopold Bros. Aperitivo is the first American take on the classic bitter aperitivo — from the Latin word "to open" — the mainstay of Old World dining culture as the opening note to a meal, big or small. In line with the traditional Italian style, the spirit centers on bitterness from gentian root and sweetness from cane sugar; citrus is the third major component, so Leopold adds distilled coriander and grapefruit peels for a bright citrus aroma, mixed with a variety of fragrant flowering botanicals including hyssop and Artemisia pontica. Colored with natural cochineal — used in spirits for hundreds of years — for the vibrant red one expects from a traditional aperitivo. From the Denver, Colorado distillery.
How to Use: Enjoy it in Negronis, spritzes, and paired with soda and lime.
ABV: 24% (48 Proof)
