Faccia Brutta Aperitivo 750ml

Faccia Brutto Aperitivo is a standout "red bitter" spirit that hails from Brooklyn, New York. Created by former chef Patrick Miller, it is designed as a more artisanal, craft-oriented alternative to mass-market staples like Campari or Aperol. The name Faccia Brutto is a playful Italian phrase meaning "Ugly Face"—a nod to the faces people often make when they taste something pleasantly bitter. It sits comfortably in the middle ground between its famous Italian cousins: it has the approachable, breezy lightness of Aperol but the deeper bitterness and complexity of Campari. A sophisticated balance of sweet and bitter, you’ll find notes of rhubarb root, gentian, and kola nut, backed by a subtle, warm spice blend of cinnamon and allspice.The "Secret" Ingredient, Miller adds a touch of salt to the spirit before bottling, which helps round out the botanicals and makes the flavors "pop" much like a chef seasoning a dish.
