St. George "Bruto Americano" Liqueur

Distiller's Notes

A blend of herbs, roots, and botanicals give Bruto its distinctive signature. The bitterness comes primarily from gentian root; the citrus notes mostly from California-grown Seville orange; balsam fir and bark from the California buckthorn contribute woodsy notes. The mixture is colored in the traditional manner with cochineal to achieve a natural ruby red hue. With a bracing dose of bitterness, a bright pop of citrus, and intriguing sylvan notes, Bruto is a bitter aperitivo liqueur with classic roots and fresh attitude. In cocktails, use Bruto anywhere you'd use an Italian red bitter. Bruto shines in an Americano, where the simple recipe lets its unique botanicals showcase themselves. Try it in a Negroni or a Boulevardier, where it lends new nuance to these beloved classics.
