Legend has it that in the magical light of summer nights, among the rugged hills of the Marquisate, sheltered from prying eyes, rituals dedicated to the midnight sun and its creatures were handed down. It is also said that at the end of each meeting, the 13 members of the ritual solemnly passed a liqueur of 13 herbs to each other, which was the symbol of their union and their indissoluble strength.
Bandito Recipe
Towards the end of the 19th century, the elixir was spread in the homes of the villages and so the revealed secret released unexpected energies which soon gave rise to events full of vitality and audacity. The ruling classes felt threatened and soon took measures against the cause that was causing that social upheaval and decided to ban the prodigious elixir. The liqueur continued to be produced and consumed within small, secret circles and its formula jealously preserved in the tradition of some families.
Rediscovered
Today, while keeping the formula secret, the elixir is made public to revive a story that has made it unique and unrepeatable the ancient spirit of Calabria. Bandito, respecting tradition, remains an exclusive liqueur for a select few.
Coktail Bandito
From the combination of 13 herbs, the smooth flavor of Vodka contrasted with the bitter taste of Campari bitter and the bubbles of Tonic water, NEGRITO is born, the new cocktail branded BANDITO.
An explosion of immense aromas and flavors of Calabria.
Strong but delicate taste, excellent as an aperitif with a slice of orange or as an after dinner with lime juice and rosemary. Pleasant and delicious, the NEGRITO remains a cocktail for a select few.
