This spicy twist on the classic Calabrian liqueur infuses the traditional 29-herb recipe with locally grown chili peppers (peperoncino). It opens with the signature nose of orange blossom, chamomile, and anise, underscored by a prickly heat. On the palate, the herbal bitterness and sweetness of mint and licorice are invigorated by a steady, warming kick of chili spice that lingers on the clean, zesty finish.
Best enjoyed ice-cold from the freezer (-20°C) to heighten the aromatic complexity while smoothing the heat. It also works brilliantly in a "Spicy Spritz" with Prosecco, a Red Manhattan, or added to a Negroni for a fiery kick.
