Opal Nera is a blend of various distilled ingredients which we prepare from scratch, using fresh products (yes, that's right, rather than siphon from huge tanks of various flavourings, we actually take stuff and make distillates from it - innovative isn't it?) So we blend distillates of green anise, star anise, elderflowers, elderberries, coriander and lemon peel (along with a few secret little treats) with neutral alcohol from beet, for a more natural sweetness. And for a final flourish, we infuse the whole thing with elderberry skins to give Opal Nera its distinctive, rich purple-black colour. The result is what we like to call "damn tasty".
