BRUTO AMERICANO 750ML

St. George Bruto Americano is a distinctive American‑style aperitivo bittersweet liqueur produced by St. George Spirits in Alameda, California. It’s crafted as a modern take on classic Italian red bitters (like Campari), blending traditional bittering ingredients with regional Californian botanicals to create a bold, herbaceous, and citrus‑accented spirit.

General Profile

1. Type: Aperitivo / Americano style bitter liqueur
2. Producer: St. George Spirits (California, USA)
3. Alcohol: 24% ABV
4. Size: 750 ml
5. Color: Ruby‑red (naturally colored with cochineal)

Bruto Americano is an aperitif sipper and cocktail component inspired by Italian aperitivos but with a distinctly American botanical twist.

Style & Character

Aroma: Bright citrus (Seville orange), warm baking spice, sandalwood, and forest‑like herbal notes.

Palate: Pronounced bitterness led by gentian root, balanced by citrus peel, woodsy botanicals (balsam fir and California buckthorn bark), and subtle spices.

Finish: Linger‑long bitter‑citrus and herbal finish with a dry, herbaceous edge.

The overall flavor profile is more herbal and woodsy than many traditional Italian bitter liqueurs, making it both familiar to bitter lovers and intriguingly different.

How to Enjoy

Bruto Americano is versatile and can be enjoyed:

1. Neat over ice as an aperitif
2. With soda water and citrus for a refreshing bitter spritz
3. In classic and contemporary cocktails where Italian bitters are used, such as a Negroni, Boulevardier, or Americano—often replacing or complementing Campari.
