Luxardo first made Bitter in 1885. The flavors come from infusing a plethora of herbs and spices including sweet and bitter orange, wormwood, rhubarb, tart cherry, rosemary, quinine, waldmeister, cassia, fennel, mint, angelica, marjoram, orris root, fern, and thyme — then, to make it more approachable, adding just the right amount of sugar. This oily, rich bitter is intricate and layered, with a wonderful mouthfeel that carries a multitude of nuances to a pleasant finish.
How to Use: As an aperitif, a chilled shot, in a lovely cocktail — or with sparkling water and a slice of lemon.
