Tasting Notes
Flavor #1
A brilliant red color, Hypatia is not artificially colored. The red pigment is extracted from the bodies of female cochineal beetles that are found on cacti.
Flavor #2
Wormwood & Gentian, traditionally used to aide digestive problems, these bring the bitter back bone to Hypatia.
Flavor #3
Lemon peel, orange blossom, sweet marjoram and summer savory thyme.
FLAVOR #4
Bitter blood orange peel entry, lemon verbena floral lift, maraschino cherry, and orange black tea spice.
About
Hypatia was a renowned teacher of philosophy in 4th century Egypt, but her lessons conflicted with the rise of Christianity. Blamed for inciting leaders who favored the ancient wisdoms over religious rule, Hypatia was beaten to death and her works were burned. In honor of this inspiring mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher we have crafted a liqueur made from classic bitters of herbs, flowers, roots, and citrus peels, distilled with pure spring water from our Napa Valley Estate, and made from an 1800s formulation, still colored by carmine red.
