A high-quality bitter with abundant pleasant aromas like orange peel and rhubarb. It's one of the best bitters to mix with soda or sparkling wine. It's more aromatic and fruity than the world's most famous bitters, offering a more refined bitter finish without being excessively sugary. While not the absolute best for mixing, it's very good nonetheless.

Citrus liqueur with a bitter profile, similar to Campari but milder and less acrid. Excellent in a Negroni.
Less robust and more vibrant than Campari. Excellent by itself or mixed in a spritz.
