Description
Impressence Red Italian Bitter Aperitif delivers the distinctive bittersweet character of a traditional Italian-style aperitif. With rich chinotto citrus, warming clove and subtle cinnamon notes, this essence creates a beautifully balanced drink with a refreshing bitter finish.
Its complex flavour profile combines vibrant citrus with aromatic spices, making it an excellent choice for home spirit makers who enjoy traditional European aperitifs.
Each 50ml sachet makes 1.25 litres of finished aperitif when combined with neutral spirit and Impressence Liqueur Base B. Alternatively, you can prepare it using sugar instead of the liqueur base.
Enjoy your finished aperitif straight over ice with a slice of orange, or use it to create a classic Negroni-style cocktail.
