Abstinence produces this through hydro-distillation, pulling the flavour from both South African botanicals and more classic Italian aperitif ingredients. African Wormwood handles the bitterness you'd usually get from the traditional alpine herb blend in Campari-style drinks. Cinchona bark adds quinine depth. Blood orange does exactly what you'd expect it to: it's vivid and fresh, and it carries the whole thing. The nose is bright and immediately citrusy, with allspice and clove warming things up beneath. On the palate, a brief sweetness gives way to earthy bitterness from the wormwood mid-palate, and the finish keeps going with that bittersweet citrus-herb interplay. It has real length. Over ice with soda or tonic is the obvious serve, with a blood orange slice. It also works as a straight swap for Campari in a spritz or negroni-style build, proportions and all.
