Acqua Bianca is created by Salvatore ‘The Maestro’ Calabrese, one of the world’s leading bartenders, in collaboration with De Kuyper Royal Distillers. It takes you on a journey of discovery with the revival and reimagining of a recipe from an antique bartender’s book
A unique liqueur
Inspired by a 1800s recipe for Planter's Punch that included ambergris and observing that most liqueurs have a one-dimensional flavour profile, bartending elder statesman
Salvatore Calabrese sought to create a liqueur that was floral, citrus and minty, the result being Acqua Bianca.
“My idea was to create something totally unusual that does not exist in the market, something very versatile, a liqueur to inspire new cocktails, a liqueur that is able to take the center stage of any cocktail creation.”
