First created in 1840 by an Italian, Giuseppe Borsci, who inherited the recipe from his “Caucasian ancestors”, this is a delicious amaro-style liqueur.
The bottling is flavoured with Melissa, wormwood, cloves, saffron and many other botanicals, producing a complex final product.
Borsci offers up notes of coffee beans, cigar smoke, bittersweet herbs and wormwood, prunes, figs, chocolate, vanilla, plums, cinnamon, cloves and liquorice.
Very often, this amaro will be served over ice cream, in coffee or as a shot. Another interesting Italian bitter to try.
You can mix it with coffee, ice cream or simply drink it near with bit of ice.
