Italian-style distillery Don Ciccio & Figli is launching a new collection of limited edition spirits, and its first release—a shimmery purple liqueur called Tutti Frutti—will honor Pride Month in June. Don Ciccio owner Francesco Amodeo says he’s been planning the collection, which he’s calling Eklectika, for about two years. It’s a new direction for a distiller known for using family recipes dating back centuries.
“Eklectika allows us to be a little bit more flexible and allows us to do fun projects,” Amodeo says. Inspired by the assorted-fruit candy brand Tutti Frutti he grew up eating, Amodeo concocted the summery aperitivo using an assortment of seasonal fruits like strawberry, peach, banana, apricot, blueberry, and grapefruit as well as botanicals like juniper, bitter orange, and cinnamon. Edible glitter gives it sparkle, while purple-carrot juice imparts a violet hue.
