Zucca Rabarbaro Amaro
Description: | Zucca Rabarbaro is a dark-amber Italian amaro that is being relaunched using its original 1845 recipe. Zucca, the story goes, started as a doctor's potion to alleviate the indigestion of a patient; the patient's husband then modified this infusion of rhubarb-rabarbaro in Italian, but specifically the roots of Chinese rhubarb-and medicinal herbs, orange zest, and cardamom, using enough alcohol to bring the proof up to 60 and creating what became a popular after-dinner drink. Today, the original Zucca's bittersweet herbal flavor and slightly smoky, earthy intensity also make it an intriguing mixer-or, with a splash of soda and citrus, a fine aperitivo. |
