Distiller Notes
Since the beginning of the 18th century in Piedmont, it has been customary to infuse juniper berries into alcohol to preserve their floral and digestive properties. Ratafia di Andorno Juniper Liqueur has a distinct herbal quality reminiscent of genepy and Green Chartreuse, playing nicely with gin, tequila and most spirits for that matter!

First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
