Named after the founder’s grandfather, Gorini is Faccia Brutto’s house amaro—a dark, herb-driven liqueur inspired by classic Italian recipes but made in Brooklyn with a fresh point of view. It’s built on a base of neutral grain spirit and infused with over a dozen botanicals, including gentian, kola nut, peppermint, and cinnamon. The result is a complex, punchy amaro that’s as good on its own as it is in a cocktail.

What sets Gorini apart is its balance—bitterness up front from gentian and wormwood, a warm spice core, and a cool herbal lift on the finish. It’s rich and layered, but not syrupy, with just enough sweetness to round things out. Whether you’re sipping it neat after dinner, dropping it into a spritz, or using it as a deeper, darker stand-in for Campari or Averna, it brings real flavor and presence.

For fans of Fernet, Alpine bitters, or bartenders looking for a new go-to amaro that doesn’t fade in the glass—Gorini is a standout.
