If you're a cocktail enthusiast, it's likely that you have an opinion or two about Italy's range of Amari, or bittersweet liqueurs. With much attention paid to Amaro Nonino, it's easy to overlook the heritage brand's other offerings. I encourage you to check out L'Apertivo Nonino Botanical Drink, an Apertivo Bianco originally created by Silvia Nonino in 1940. The first of a long line of female Grappa distillers in the Nonino family, Silvia perfected what was then her house Apertivo blend by gathering herbs and botanicals native to Friuli and adding them to her Grappa distillate. Nearly a century later, Silvia's blend is now available to all of us, and we're proud to carry it on our shelves. Its golden hue and beautiful bottle make it a stunning addition to any home bar cart, but its quality and versatility make it much more than a mere ornament. Unlike Campari and Aperol, no artificial colors or flavor are added in the process. Juicy citrus notes of orange and Meyer lemon balance the bitter nuance of woody herbs and rhubarb. Whether you use it in a lively Spritz, a Blonde Negroni, or even try it in place of orange liqueur in a Margarita, I'm sure you'll find L'Apertivo Nonino Botanical Drink to be one of the most used and beloved liqueurs in your cocktail arsenal. - Taylor Surdyk
