Ginrosa Aperitivo
1L & 50 Proof
What is Ginrosa Aperitivo?
Ginrosa Aperitivo is a historic Milanese apéritif bitters with a female-friendly twist, created over 150 years ago by a trailblazing entrepreneur named Annunciata Bournè. In a time when unaccompanied women weren't allowed in most bars, Bournè not only made her wine shop welcoming to women but also flipped the script by banning unaccompanied men, creating a safe haven for female drinkers to enjoy her delicately balanced, pink-hued creation.
Why do we love Ginrosa Aperitivo?
Cocktail drinkers should love Ginrosa Aperitivo for its unique blend of history and flavor, rooted in 19th century Milan's female-friendly aperitivo culture. Its delicately balanced bitterness and pink hue, derived from natural cochineal coloring, offer a softer alternative to more fiery aperitivos while still delivering complex notes of citrus, juniper, and spice.
How do you drink Ginrosa Aperitivo?
Ginrosa Aperitivo shines in classic Italian-style spritz cocktails or as a refreshing aperitif served simply over ice with a splash of soda and an orange slice. Its delicate bitterness and bright flavors make it perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light appetizers like olives, nuts, or cured meats.

Nose: Bright citrus notes lead with orange zest and lemon peel. Juniper berries provide a subtle pine undertone. Hints of rhubarb and gentle spices like cinnamon and cardamom add complexity.
Palate: A harmonious blend of sweet and bitter flavors. Initial sweetness from orange and rhubarb gives way to a balanced bitterness. Juniper adds a crisp, herbaceous quality. Gentle spice notes of cassia bark complement the fruit flavors. Medium-bodied with a silky texture.
Finish: Dry and pleasantly bitter, reminiscent of orange peel. Lingering notes of gentian root provide an earthy depth. The spice elements leave a warm, tingling sensation. A subtle juniper freshness persists, inviting another sip.
Ginrosa Aperitivo is crafted through the infusion of carefully selected botanicals in a high-proof alcohol solution, with a touch of juniper berry distillate added for complexity. What's particularly intriguing is the use of natural cochineal coloring, a traditional ingredient derived from insects, which gives Ginrosa its distinctive rosy hue and connects it to centuries-old Italian aperitivo-making techniques.
