BYRRH FRANCE Produced since 1873 in the small French town of Thuir. Evolved from quinine bark infusions used to prevent malaria in 1850. Byrrh Grand Quinquina Aperitif Wine 36PF / 750ML / 2 COP

Oh, and incidentally, it’s pronounced like, well, “beer.”

Fortified wine, produced since 1873 in the small French town of Thuir. Byrrh is created by macerating South America Quinquina, coffee, bitter orange, colombo and cocoa in Muscat Mistelles, then matured in oak casks. The fruit-forward wine lends natural sweetness, so no additional sugar is needed, and provides Byrrh with its refreshing balance of fruit and spice. Byrrh is a bit softer than vermouth with heavy wine flavors and just a mild quinine flavor to add bitterness. Traditionally served as an aperitif, chilled with a slice of lemon. 5+ Stars Difford’s Guide THE BYRRH COCKTAIL INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 ounces Byrrh Grand Quinquina 1 ounce Cognac 1/4 ounce Massenez Kirsch DIRECTIONS Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. — TEMPEREDSPIRITS.COM CHAZALETTES & CO ITALY, TURIN The heir of the dynasty, Giovanni Chazalettes, armed with the old recipes book, a rich archive and his youth memories, begins a new chapter in their history.
