€8-€25Sardinian Myrtle Liqueur in Alghero
Myrtle liqueur is one of the most emblematic drinks of Sardinia, and in Alghero it almost always appears at the end of a traditional meal. It is made by infusing the dark berries of wild myrtle in alcohol. This aromatic plant grows abundantly in the Mediterranean scrub that surrounds the city and much of the island. After several weeks of maceration, water and sugar are added, producing a liqueur with an intense ruby-red color. The aroma is balsamic and resinous, while the flavor combines sweetness, herbal notes, and a light astringency. It is traditionally served very cold as a digestif.
