"Cannella" is the Italian word for cinnamon, and it's the family name. Inspired by an ancient Sicilian family tradition in the spice trade, Canella launched its San Francisco -based amaro company in 2014.

Inspired by founder Joe Cannella's formative travel experiences in Sicily, Fernet Cannella is a fresh take on a classic Italian spirit.

Over-proofed at 42%, and with under 5% sugar by volume, Fernet Cannella is drier than you might expect, and foregoes the traditional caramel coloring you'll typically find in most other Fernets. This allows a showcase for the ingredients and allow them to shine through. Among many other botanicals, roots and spices, Fernet Cannella includes myrrh, saffron, turmeric and angelica root.

Enjoy on the rocks with a lemon twist for great sipping.
