We assume everyone is familiar with Campari; the distinctive red alcoholic liqueur, most frequently used in cocktails. It's the one that gives the likes of a Negroni its bitterness. The Italian powerhouse Contratto has now launched a very similar product. Based on recipes dating back to 1933, Contratto Bitter is all natural - no artificial colors or flavors - a top quality, artisanal alternative to the industry standard products of today. Contratto Bitter is a heady mix of 24 herbs, spices, roots and seeds include aloe, wormwood, bitter orange peel, cloves, cardamom, nettle, ginger and many more. These are combined with Italian Brandy to create a beautiful bitter reminiscent of Campari, but dare we say, a whole lot better. Its color comes from vegetable extracts - carrots and beetroot. A slow, cold maceration process is carried out according to tradition, and the result is a 22% liqueur. It's somewhat sweeter than its famous rival Campari, a touch fruitier though less grapefruity, and there's a hint of vanilla in there too.
