St. George Bruto Americano
Bitter Liqueurs
St. George Spirits // California, USA
Bruto Americano is made by St. George Spirits in Alameda, California. Like many bitter liqueurs, the list of ingredients is a closely held secret, but is made from a variety of different herbs, roots, and other botanicals.
Disclosed ingredients include: California-grown gentian root, Seville orange, balsam fir, and cascara sagrada (bark from California buckthorn). Cochineal bugs, a natural and historic method of dying materials, are used to color the liqueur prior to bottling. The name, Bruto Americano means "ugly American"--a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that an American is creating an Italian aperitivo.
