UP Compadre ROSSO Red Essence 25 L
UP Compadre ROSSO Red Essence 25 L
The Ultra Premium version of our red bitter, in a 25-litre drum. Here we have put extra work into the depth of the herbal notes and the length of the bitterness – for producers and bars who want that little bit more. 25 litres gives 937.5 litres of finished aperitif.
Flavour Profile
A glowing red drink with aromas of bitter orange, grapefruit peel and red berries. The palate swings elegantly between fruity sweetness and a dry, rooty bitterness with hints of rhubarb, clove and cinchona bark. A long, appetising finish.
How to Use
Mix with neutral spirit or vodka plus sugar. 18.67 ml makes 700 ml of finished aperitif. The essence is concentrated 37.5 times, so 1 ml equals 37.5 ml of finished drink. Instructions are on the label.
Serving Suggestions
- A premium aperitif for bars and restaurants.
- The base of Negronis, spritzes and other bitter cocktails.
- Non-alcoholic aperitifs for the growing no-and-low trend.
