Italy's Answer in the Herbal Liqueur Glass
Del Santo is Luxardo's green herbal liqueur: a careful fusion of herbs and roots, each chosen for its own character, artfully combined into a blend that is both bold and elegant. The signature botanical is achillea moscata, an Alpine perennial, joined by warm spices — mace, galangal, cinnamon and clove — and aromatic calamus. At 40% ABV it is more approachable than the 55% benchmark green herbal liqueurs, and Luxardo USA's own Last Word recipe pours Del Santo in the herbal liqueur's place.
