Aperitivo Select Lt

While its cousins in the bitter category often lean heavily into citrus or syrupy sweetness, Select occupies a sophisticated middle ground. It is complex, unapologetically botanical, and possesses a refined bitterness that makes it a favorite among those who find other aperitifs a bit too one-note.

To do it like they do at the bars along the Grand Canal, skip the orange slice. Select demands a large green olive—the saltiness creates a brilliant contrast with the herbal notes of the liqueur.
