Matt Hodgson's Picks

Bursting with botanicals, most notably are the bitter orange, clove and saffron used. Rich and bittersweet notes of caramelized orange and cola are ever present on the nose and palate. What you might not notice is gentian. It’s a bitter root commonly found in liqueurs, and is great in aiding digestion and a wide range of other ailments. Sit back and let Meletti help digest the last few weeks (months?) of winter.

Try it as a substitute for Campari in a Boulevardier.

  • 1 oz Amaro Meletti
  • 1 oz Redemption Rye
  • 1 oz Dolin Red

Stir all ingredients with ice until we’ll chilled, strain into a rocks glass with a large ice cube and serve with an orange twist.
