Calisaya is a traditional Italian bittersweet amaro derived from pure chinchona bark and Seville oranges. Originally prized for their alleged medicinal qualities, cinchona-based Italian amaros are now enjoyed worldwide for their inimitable herbal and aromatic essences. Calisaya celebrates this storied past in a handcrafted botanical liqueur. Calisaya’s flavor profile is an intense and balanced blend of earthy bitterness, aromatic oranges, and selected spicy botanicals. It pairs beautifully with bourbon, vermouth, tequila, or any brown spirit. Perfect in a Negroni or a Boulevardier and in pre-prohibition cocktails.
