Faccia Brutto is a line of Italian-inspired liqueurs made by Patrick Miller, a former chef who worked in restaurants for fourteen years before turning his attention to creating spirits that pay homage to traditional Italian recipes. Patrick infuses 17 fresh and dried organic botanicals such as gentian, kola nut, hibiscus and rhubarb root in non-GMO neutral grain spirit for two weeks. At that point water and fresh orange peels (2 oranges per bottle!) are added and let steep overnight. The resulting tincture is strained and filtered with organic cane sugar and cochineal added to achieve the ruby hue. Just as a chef would finish all dishes with a touch of salt, Patrick adds salt to all the spirits prior to bottling to round out all the botanicals and harmonize the sweet and bitter flavors.

Tasting Notes

Our aperitivo is a bittersweet rendition of the classic “red bitter” but with more character. We infuse 17 fresh and dried organic botanicals for two weeks, including gentian, kola nut, hibiscus, fresh orange peel, and rhubarb root in non-GMO neutral grain spirit.  We strain and filter the resulting tincture and add organic cane sugar and cochineal to achieve the ruby hue we all love. Phenomenal in a Negroni, Americano, or on the rocks with a twist.
