A bitter aperitif for use in cocktails such as a Negroni, Boulevardier, Old Pal or Americano that will also work well in a spritz with wine and soda. Contratto use wormwood, orange peel, clove, cardamom, gentian, hibiscus, juniper, mint, rhubarb, sage, nettle, ginger and other botanicals for their take on this classic.
Complex and fruity with rootsy bitterness and cardamom hints.
This is the best! Although I have a tough time getting it in Massachusetts, it is well-worth the effort, since it transforms a good Negroni into something special.
