About Ragazzi e Succo

From Bartender to Sommelier, Restaurant owner and cook, my experience in the hospitality industry has spanned over 24 years. Balancing flavours and tastes, while managing people and expectations was an integral part of my hospitality background and has led me to this next chapter, creating Ragazzi e Succo.

Aperitivo’s and Amaro’s are something special to me. Bitter, sweet, herbaceous, complex and textural, amaro’s and aperitivo’s are best served before dinner to create an appetite, or also perfect as an after-dinner digestive. Whether its spritzed, neat, stirred, shaken, soured or simply with ice & a slice….You do you!

I have created Ragazzi e Succo Aperitivo, with maximum flavour in mind. It features an assortment of organic citrus fruits, local herbs & roots while also including classic Italian amaro botanicals. Distilled with grape spirit then steeped for an extended time, it is mixed and sweetened to create a unique flavour profile but with a familiar taste to be enjoyed as you would a classic aperitivo or amaro. My go to is with lemon juice and tonic water with a slice of pink grapefruit, but with its versatile flavour profile can be used in a cocktail that suits you.
