White Possum Scarletta Bitter Citrus Amaro 26% 500ML

26% ABV / 500mL

White Possum Scarletta is a bitter citrus amaro modelled on the classic Italian-made Campari. Made using homegrown and foraged lemon myrtle, as well as a blend of various citrus peels and bitter roots, Scarletta is seriously aromatic and bracingly bitter. It's designed specifically for constructing a Negronis or Spritz, whilst also suitable for the bold drinker who prefers their bitterness served on nothing but ice and a lemon twist.

To make this clean yet complex amaro, we peel several varieties of locally grown oranges and lemons. The peels are infused and distilled alongside leaves picked from our very own lemon myrtle tree which we planted soon after starting the distillery in 2014. To these citrus botanicals we add a smorgasbord of infused and distilled bitter herbs and spices, most notably gentian root, which form the bitter backbone of the drink. The whole process takes a couple of months before a balanced flavour profile appears, at which point we siphon the liqueur from the top of the vat. A few drops of red food dye are used to turn the liquid from orange to red before bottling.

We deliberately avoid filtering the liqueur to ensure no flavour is filtered out, so you may notice some sediment and oils that may drift out of the liqueur over time. Simply give your bottle a quick shake and all will be normal again!

Contains precisely 0.0% artificial flavours and preservatives. Vegan friendly (we don't use any animal products nor processes throughout). Gluten free. Note there is a small amount of red food dye present (approximately five drops per bottle).
