Scarlet Bitter Liqueur Aperitivo, 2024

Scarlet Bitter Liqueur Aperitivo, 2024

Regular price $52.00

Taking inspiration from the Italian red bitters of the 1970s, Scarlet Aperitivo is instantly recognizable as a classic red bitter but stands firmly on its own with a unique botanical backbone that includes many estate-grown botanicals including the wormwood and yomogi (mugwort) that are used as bittering agents. By utilizing local ingredients, even the familiar feels novel; founder Tatsuya Motonaga notes that the Japanese-grown botanicals have vastly different flavor profiles than those grown in Europe, thus highlighting local terroir and seasonality.
