Homemade Chinotto Syrup (Bitter Orange Herbal mix for 2F)

Chinotto is a classic Italian bitter soda, traditionally made from the small, sour chinotto citrus fruit grown along the Ligurian coast. It's part of Italy's beautiful tradition of amari - those complex, bittersweet flavours that Italians have perfected over centuries. The combination of roasted citrus, aromatic herbs, and warming spices creates something both refreshing and sophisticated - bitter, sweet, herbal, and deeply satisfying.

At The Fermentary, our Burnt Orange water kefir was a long-time bestseller when we had the shop. There's something about that caramelised bitterness paired with the natural tang of water kefir that just works - it's complex and sophisticated enough to be interesting and feel like you're having something of substance. 

It's gorgeous on its own over ice, but it also great for playing around with in cocktails. Try it with bourbon or whiskey.

Great for: Water Kefir, Kombucha, Ginger Beer
