“Italicus is a type of rosolio (dew of the sun),

“Italicus is a type of rosolio (dew of the sun), a liqueur historically made from a neutral base and a single dominant fruit, herb, or spice,” writes Laurel Miller (@snackingonxanax). “In 2016, Italian bartender Giuseppe Gallo was inspired to create @italicusrdb after discovering a 19th-century rosolio recipe calling for bergamot and cedro (citron), with botanicals like chamomile, lemon balm, lavender, and gentian. Gallo procures bergamot from Calabria—a region so celebrated for its citrus that the fruit has been awarded protected status—and the liqueur is produced at a historic family distillery in Moncalieri.”

As a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee living

As a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee living in Haywood County in the North Carolina mountains just west of Asheville, Morgan Owle-Crisp (@indigenousblonde), one of this year’s #Imbibe75 People to Watch, long held caution around beer,” writes Amy Bess Cook (@amybessyes). “To her own surprise, Owle-Crisp not only reframed her relationship with alcohol, but became one of the few Native women brewery owners in the country. She names the craft beer scene in Asheville as inspiration: With fewer than 100,000 people, the town has welcomed more than 50 breweries over the past two decades.” Head to the link in our bio to read more about how she found ways to preserve her Native culture through @7clansbrewing.
