Brucato Amaro 'Oro Y Fierro' Kumquat Chili Liqueur

About Brucato

Our amaros bear the name of John G. Brucato, founder of the San Francisco Farmer’s Market in 1943. In addition to his work connecting local farms with city-dwellers in need of fresh food, John Brucato also ran a winery in the heart of San Francisco, making him our spiritual forebear.

Brucato was founded by Sierra and James Clark. Sierra comes to the endeavor with a background in food and drink writing and academia — she holds a PhD in Food Studies, focusing her studies on spirits. They have built the recipes carefully, starting with 200 individual infusions of fruits, herbs, and spices, sourced from small farms or foraged where possible. They are deeply involved in all steps of the process, down to hand-peeling citrus and applying neck labels by hand.

In addition to their love of drinks, Sierra and James have a history in social policy, which they bring to Brucato in the form of a dedication to using the brand to support their community. Brucato will engage in efforts to give back to the farmers, the restaurants and bars, and the land without which it could not exist.All the depth and citrus-forward flavor of the original, infused with aromatic Calabrian chili and the heat of roasted chile de árbol for a spirited kick.
