Meletti 1870 is a traditional Italian aperitivo from the historic Meletti house of Ascoli Piceno. Three separate distillates — sweet orange, bitter orange, and a spice and herb infusion — are blended with pure spirits to create a mildly bitter yet refreshing aperitivo. The impressively complex flavor profile starts with sweet citrus, moves through a bitter middle, and finishes with gentian, coriander, cinnamon, and clove notes.
How to Use: Traditionally enjoyed with a splash of club soda, or mixed with vermouth and soda to make an Americano — and it lends itself to many other interesting cocktail applications.
