Liquore delle Sirene, Artigianale Bitter

Spirit from Italy
by Liquore delle Sirene
$32.99
Taxes and shipping calculated at checkout.

The red bitter in your Negroni is almost always made by an enormous company. This one isn't. Liquore delle Sirene works on a small, artisanal scale in Italy, steeping botanicals into a bitter liqueur built for the aperitivo hour rather than the mass market. The structure is the whole trick: sweet on entry, firmly bitter on the finish, which is what makes a bitter liqueur sharpen the appetite instead of ending the meal. Use it exactly where you'd use any red bitter, in equal parts with gin and vermouth for a Negroni, lengthened with soda for an Americano, or topped with sparkling wine for a spritz. It also holds up perfectly well on its own over ice with an orange twist, which is how a great many Italians take it before dinner.

More about Liquore delle Sirene

Most of the bitter liqueurs on a back bar come from very large companies. Liquore delle Sirene is one woman's work on the shores of Lake Garda. Elisa Carta is a trained sommelier, olive oil taster and herbalist, and she named the business after the Baia delle Sirene, a bay on the lake.

Her recipes rework old family formulas for Italian liqueurs and elixirs. Most of the botanicals come from around the lake and from Monte Baldo above it. Each botanical is infused on its own, then blended; the Bitter and the Canto Amaro rest briefly in small oak before a light filtration, with no artificial coloring. Use the Bitter wherever you'd use a red bitter: in a Negroni, an Americano or a spritz.
