Averna Bitter

Averna is the Sicilian bitter whose recipe was originally a secret held by Benedictine monks, before it was gifted in 1868 to Salvatore Averna as thanks for his hospitality. Since then the Averna family has guarded the recipe of orange, liquorice and Sicilian herbs, while the Italian sipping culture around the bitter grew into an institution of its own. This is a dram that began in a monastery and carries an entire island in its flavour.
