LEITH ARTYCHOOK APERITIVO
A TASTE OF OUR ROOTS. A TRIBUTE TO ITALY.
Artichoke. Tradition. A little Italian soul in every sip.
Some recipes are inspired by places. Others are inspired by memories.
Leith Artychook Aperitivo is particularly close to our hearts.
Rooted in the authentic Italian tradition of herbal bitters, this artisanal aperitivo celebrates the flavours, rituals and craftsmanship that have shaped generations of Italian drinking culture.
Inspired by the classic Italian artichoke bitter, Leith Artychook brings together a distinctive combination of artichoke leaf, orange, gentian and vanilla.
Artichoke leaf forms its unmistakable botanical heart, bringing an earthy, herbal character. Gentian contributes the elegant bitterness that defines a proper Italian amaro, while fragrant orange adds brightness and a touch of Mediterranean sunshine. Vanilla rounds out the blend with a soft, comforting sweetness.
The result is a beautifully layered aperitivo herbal, aromatic and bittersweet, with a character that feels both timeless and unmistakably our own.
Authentic Italian roots. Independent Leith spirit.

MORE THAN AN APERITIVO. A PIECE OF HOME.
For us, the Italian aperitivo has always been about more than what's in the glass.
It's about gathering around a table. Sharing stories. Taking time. Enjoying the small rituals that make life beautiful.
Leith Artychook is our tribute to that culture an artisanal expression of the flavours we grew up loving, brought to life with the independent spirit of Leith.
From our Italian roots to your glass.

MADE WITH HEART. NOT MADE TO BLEND IN.
