Whether enjoyed as a wintery fireside sipper or served as part of your favourite amaro-based cocktail, you’ll find this bold take on artichoke amaro smooth, complex, herbaceous, and—if we may say so—pretty goddamn perfect. It’s a little hard to put your finger on but very handy to have nearby whatever the occasion.
A truckload of organic globe artichoke, which we infuse alongside wild-picked holy thistle, drives most of the depth. It’s an intense, vegetal, sweet/savoury base accentuated with touches of cascara and meyer lemon. The addition of lavender warms and binds, with the whole mix blended in Victorian moscato and aged in French oak barrels for nine months before bottling.
A decent slug neat, on ice with a splash of tonic, or served up in a paper plane, Artichoke Vin Amaro will do the trick.
