Scarlet Bitter 'Radice Amaro'

Scarlet Bitter 'Radice Amaro'

Scarlet Orange Amaro is produced using blood oranges sourced from a friend’s farm in Ehime Prefecture. Scarlet founder Tatsuya Motonaga and a team of seventy volunteers hand press fresh citrus, which is immediately transferred to stainless steel tanks to retain its vivacity while the orange peels and other botanicals are macerated in neutral spirit. The aromatized spirit is blended with the blood orange juice and then immediately bottled, capturing a full spectrum of sweet citrus flavors and earthy supporting botanicals.

  • Base spirit distilled from sugarcane
  • Made with over 25 botanicals featuring blood orange, lemon balm, bramble leaves, ginger, camellia flowers, and ginger
  • Botanicals are macerated in neutral sugarcane spirit
  • Aromatized spirit is combined with blood orange juice and bottled
