Country of origin: Italy
Alcohol content: 30% ABV

An idiosyncratic drink from northern Italy, Zucca Rabarbaro is made using the root of Chinese rhubarb grown in the mountainous regions of Gansu province. First created to aid digestion as a medicinal tonic, it developed into a bittersweet liqueur that became a staple of Milanese aperitivi—taking its name from Caffè Zucca in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II.

Bittersweet and herbacious with notes of zesty orange, cardamom, chocolate, slight aniseed, and burnt toffee.

Drink neat or over ice as a digestivo, mix with soda as a refreshing aperitivo, or as a substitute for other amari in cocktails such as the Negroni and Americano. Pairs well with smoky mezcal or Islay scotch.

About Zucca:

The origin of Zucca Rabarbaro dates to 1845 when Tilde Zucca was prescribed a Chinese rhubarb based infusion for stomach trouble and her husband, Ettore, was captivated by the distinctive mix of ingredients. He was inspired to add alcohol to complete the taste and as a result, Zucca Rabarbaro was created. First enjoyed as a homemade spirit, it quickly became the signature liquor of Milan’s distinguished society. Reprising the original recipe, Zucca Rabarbaro was re-launched with a revitalized flavour and more potent kick at 30% alcohol to bring a unique dimension to cocktails.
