What is it? Rumor has it, only one person knows. Essentially, this redder-than-red aperitif is a particularly bitter form of bitters, dating back to 1860's Italy. And while the stuff is very popular there, it remains more widely recognized stateside as a logo on patio umbrellas. Try it in... The Negroni, a classic cocktail featuring equal parts gin, sweet vermouth and Campari. It's even an official recipe of the International Bartenders Association's yearly cocktail competitions, so your mixologist will be especially interested in getting this one right.
Tuaca is popular with the Colorado ski crowd - it's helped my friends & I get up the courage to hit the slippery slopes more than once! There IS such a thing as "liquid courage"...=)

Frangelico is also great in a PB&J shot - equal parts Frangelico and Chambord. Tasty!
