“It's the Golden State in a shot glass: amber-colored, slightly think, sweet but zingy, and more complex than you'd think.”

Grand Poppy amaro capture the essence of the Golden State. The concept of amaro originates from herbal liqueurs first created by monasteries and enjoyed as aperitifs and digestifs during the 19th century.

Reviews
“Build an organic Negroni with this bitter beauty. Sweet on the palate at first, this liqueur also has bold floral notes and finishes pleasantly bitter, like a light amaro.”
Wine Enthusiast
“What elevates Grand Poppy over, say, a typical bittersweet liqueur, is how beautifully all of these flavors come together, moving from sweet to floral to bitter, ending on a pretty combination of all of the above.”
Drink Hacker
“This liqueur showcases a cornucopia of California’s bounty. Well Done Greenbar. Well Done.”

How is Grand Poppy made?
Over the course of 3 months, Litty, Melkon and their dedicated team of spiritsmakers steep more than 20 ingredients in high-proof sugarcane spirits to capture their aroma, flavor and color. Then they redistill these infusions in an old-style copper pot still to concentrate the aromas. A second infusion follows. Finally the batches are bottled when everything tastes right and balanced.

West Coast Origin
Our Poppy amaro showcases the magnificent golden poppy, California’s state flower since 1903. Along with poppy, this amaro features native plants like California Bay, coastal herbs like blessed thistle, dandelion and rue, as well as our state’s prized fresh citrus, including orange, grapefruit and lemon.
The perfect compliment to any cocktail
Mixes incredibly well with a myriad of alcohol, I’ve done Negronis that replace Campari with POPPY, used it instead of Cointreau in a margarita, and added a few dashes to my Manhattan instead of bitters. Its well-rounded and versatile ingredients list means it can be used all over the place, or as a base for a lower alcohol cocktail. It of course also tastes good on its own on ice.
