White Possum Scarletta Bitter Citrus Amaro 500ml

White Possum Scarletta is a meticulously crafted bitter citrus amaro, inspired by the iconic Italian Campari. This complex and aromatic liqueur is produced using homegrown and foraged lemon myrtle, alongside a curated blend of various citrus peels and bitter roots. Designed specifically for the creation of Negronis and Spritz cocktails, Scarletta also caters to connoisseurs who enjoy a bracingly bitter profile served neat over ice with a lemon twist.

The production process of this sophisticated amaro begins with the peeling of several varieties of locally cultivated oranges and lemons. The peels are then infused and distilled along with leaves harvested from a lemon myrtle tree planted at the distillery's inception in 2014. Complementing these citrus botanicals, a diverse array of infused and distilled bitter herbs and spices, particularly gentian root, are incorporated to establish the drink's bitter backbone. The entire process spans several months, allowing the flavors to harmonize, after which the liqueur is carefully siphoned from the top of the vat. To achieve its signature hue, a few drops of red food dye are added, transitioning the liquid from orange to red before bottling.

The liqueur remains unfiltered to preserve its rich flavor, so sediment and oils may occasionally appear. A gentle shake of the bottle will restore its consistency.

Scarlett contains no artificial flavors or preservatives and is vegan-friendly, free from any animal products or processes. It is also gluten-free. Note that a minimal amount of red food dye (approximately five drops per bottle) is present.
