What is it: Sophisticated and bitter sweet with intense flavors of flowers, roots, herbs and citrus. GRAND POPPY amaro is a California-inspired take on classic European amari. Greenbar Distillery makes it by marrying the best of California’s bounty – citrus from our favorite Southern California farms, coastal herbs and berries that the distillery founders, Melkon and Litty discovered on their hikes, and one very beautiful flower, the California poppy – to bring a new taste to cocktail lovers everywhere

How to use: Enjoy with sparkling wine, soda, or paired with silver tequila, vodka, or whiskey. GRAND POPPY amaro makes a wonderful aperitif and adds delightful complexity to cocktails. Try mixing equal parts hard spirit to GRAND POPPY amaro then using fresh lime juice and simple syrup as modifiers

Taste: Bittersweet with intense flavors of flowers, roots, herbs, and citrus

GRAND POPPY ingredients: Organic California poppy, orange, lemon, grapefruit, bearberry, California bay leaf, pink peppercorn, dandelion, blessed thistle, burdock, rue, artichoke, gentian, geranium, cherry bark, cane sugar

Alcohol by volume: 20 (40% Proof)

Sweetener: 100% cane sugar

“GRAND POPPY mixes incredibly well with a myriad of alcohol, I’ve done Negronis that replace Campari with GRAND POPPY, used it instead of Cointreau in a margarita, and added a few dashes to my Manhattan instead of bitters. Its well-rounded and versatile ingredients list means it can be used all over the place, or as a base for a lower alcohol cocktail. It of course also tastes good on its own on ice. Speaking of ice, this would complement vanilla ice cream with fresh fruit as a dessert or as a base for ice itself.”
