Vicario Artichoke Liqueur

Vicario Artichoke Liqueur is one of the most genuinely unusual and intellectually fascinating bottles in the entire lineup — an amaro-style liqueur that takes one of the kitchen's most beloved vegetables and transforms it into something you never imagined you'd want to sip. Estate-grown and hand-harvested artichoke leaves from the Vicario family farm in Cortona, Italy are aged in oak and finished in South Carolina — with no caramelized sugar, no color additives, just fresh herbs and spices aged to perfection. The biologically active compound in artichoke — cynarine — is an ester formed from quinic acid, related to the flavors in cinchona bark and coffee beans, alongside caffeic acid which brings aromas of eucalyptus, thyme, sage, and spearmint. Artichoke leaves bring a floral, grassy flavor that dissipates into a persuasive bitterness, bright and vibrantly herbaceous with undertones of spearmint, genepy, and cinnamon. Sweetened with organic sugar and single-nectar Cardoon honey when the farm's bees cooperate, this is a complex amaro unlike anything else. Serve as an aperitif, with soda, or in cocktails.
