Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur is a Herbal & Spice Liqueurs  crafted in Italy.

Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur is a vibrant green Italian-style amaro made in Brooklyn, New York, that blends 20 different herbs and botanicals for a complex, bittersweet flavor profile. Interestingly, the recipe for this modern American take on a traditional Italian liqueur was inspired by a 400-year-old monastic formula, highlighting the enduring appeal of these time-honored herbal elixirs.

Why We Love It

Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Faccia Brutto Centerbe for its distinctively herbaceous profile, crafted with over 20 organic herbs and botanicals sourced from small Italian farms. This Brooklyn-made liqueur stands out from typical spirits with its bright, verdant flavor and its roots in the centuries-old Italian tradition of centerbe ("hundred herbs"), offering bartenders and home mixologists a versatile, artisanal alternative to mass-produced herbal liqueurs.

How to Drink It

Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur shines when sipped neat at room temperature, allowing its complex herbal flavors to fully unfold on the palate. It also makes a refreshing summer sipper over ice or as a key ingredient in aromatic cocktails, particularly those with gin or vodka bases, and pairs wonderfully with rich, creamy cheeses or light, herb-forward Mediterranean dishes.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh herbs dominate, with notes of mint, thyme, and sage. A hint of citrus zest and pine needles adds brightness. Underlying whispers of anise and fennel provide depth.

Palate: Bold and herbaceous. Mint and eucalyptus create a cooling sensation. Chamomile and lemon balm offer a tea-like quality. Gentian root contributes a pleasant bitterness. Light sweetness balances the herbal intensity.

Finish: Long and warming. Peppermint and licorice linger. A subtle earthiness reminiscent of fresh-cut grass emerges. The bitterness fades, leaving a clean, refreshing aftertaste with hints of rosemary and lavender.

How It's Made

Faccia Brutto Centerbe Herbal Liqueur is crafted using a blend of 23 organic herbs and botanicals, including juniper, mint, and sage, which are carefully macerated in a neutral grain spirit. This vibrant green liqueur is then bottled at a potent 70 proof, allowing the complex herbal flavors to shine through while maintaining a balanced, sippable profile.

Fun Facts

  • Faccia Brutto Centerbe contains a whopping 23 different herbs and botanicals, including some unexpected ingredients like saffron and gentian root, creating a complex flavor profile that's been described as "tasting like an Italian mountainside in spring."
  • The liqueur's vibrant green color comes entirely from natural sources - a blend of herbs like mint, sage, and thyme - without any artificial coloring. This hue can shift slightly depending on the season in which it's produced, making each batch subtly unique.
  • Despite its Italian-inspired name and style, Faccia Brutto Centerbe is actually crafted in Brooklyn, New York. Its creator, Patrick Miller, spent years reverse-engineering traditional Italian amari before developing this distinctly American take on the classic herbal liqueur.

    Better than I expected

    One of my ATF drinks is a Last Word. Since green Chartreuse is impossible to find, I wanted to see if it would be a good alternative. I was pleasantly surprised! I feel it's a solid alternative, and I would highly recommend it as well.

    Excellent Green Chartreuse Substitute

    While Faccia Bruto does not have the gravitas or aged depth of flavor that Chartreuse has, I find that my 'Last Word' cocktails are nearly as good as their Chartreuse counterparts. My wife, in blind taste tests, noticed the difference but just barely. Until I can find Chartreuse again, this will be my go to substitute.

    Not impressed

    Got this and Genepy as Green Chartreuse alternatives. This had an odd green tea aspect to it which didn't make it work for what I got it for, but I am excited to play around with it more
