Italicus Bergamot Liqueur Review

Flavored with the same zesty citrus fruit that gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive flavor profile, this Italian liqueur is attractive and inviting, and smells like summer. The palate offers fruity complexity and shares a similar kind of bitterness to vermouth while arriving more approachable overall. Add to your spritz or in place of vermouth for a fruity Martini.
