The Italian aperitivo bitter, the Blu Lie way

The Italian aperitivo is a ritual. Bitter Romeo reads it with a bright, citrus-led profile, made even for those who don't usually drink bitter.

The Italian aperitivo bitter, the Blu Lie way

The profile

An enveloping, citrus nose with a freshness lifted by pink grapefruit and hibiscus. On the palate the initial freshness turns towards its more bitter, vibrant side, with delicate toasted shades and a light smokiness of wood. A moderately bitter finish, elegantly round.

An aperitivo bitter, not a dash bitter

At 25% ABV, Bitter Romeo is made for the glass, not the dropper: citrus-led and measured, far from the rhubarb of classic bitters.

How to drink it

In the timeless Milano-Torino and Americano; on its own, neat over ice; or long, with soda and a twist of orange.
