Tasting Notes:

Who It’s For:
For people who prefer bitter over sweet, and want a liqueur with real depth, earthiness, and structure.

How to Use It:

• Neat after dinner, with a twist
• In a Little Italy, or Bitter Giuseppe
• As a bitter backbone in stirred cocktails

Why It’s Different:
Artichoke-forward and botanically dense, creating a deeper, more grounded bitterness than most liqueurs

Our love for all things bitter naturally led us to highlight the artichoke in all its glory. Our Carciofo is made from a blend of 19 herbs and botanicals with neutral grain spirit from Buffalo, NY. We take fresh artichokes from the Central Coast in California and macerate them for 10 days alongside warm spices like cinnamon, allspice, and dandelion root. Lemon peel and bay leaf round out the blend that’s sweetened with organic cane sugar.
