Leopold Bros. Aperitivo Classico

24% ABV

We love every single thing we've had from Distiller Todd Leopold's namesake brand. This is a naturally colored, Bitter Aperitivo in the same style as Aperol and other Italian Aperitivi. Mix it into a Spritz, a Paper Plane, or any other cocktail that calls for Aperol. 

Producer Notes:
In line with the traditional Italian style, the spirit centers around major flavor components: bitterness from gentian root and sweetness from cane sugar. Citrus is the third major component, so we add distilled coriander and grapefruit peels to give Leopold Bros. Aperitivo a bright, citrus aroma. We mix these components with a variety of fragrant flowering botanicals, including hyssop and Artemsia pontica. We then color the cordial with natural cochineal, which adds the vibrant red color that one expects from traditional Aperitivi as it has been used in spirits for hundreds of years.
