Hypatia Rubi Amaro 750 ml

Hypatia Rubi Amaro is a distinctive California-made herbal liqueur from Great Women Spirits by The Family Coppola, crafted with nearly 20 botanicals and inspired by a historic 1800s formulation. Complex, bittersweet, floral, citrus-driven, and deeply aromatic, this ruby-colored amaro offers a uniquely Californian interpretation of the traditional bitter herbal liqueur.

The expression honors Hypatia of Alexandria, the renowned ancient mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and teacher. As part of The Family Coppola's Great Women Spirits collection, the bottle celebrates her legacy alongside a spirit designed to bring together history, craftsmanship, and an unconventional botanical profile.

Hypatia is crafted from classic bittering ingredients incorporating herbs, flowers, roots, and citrus peels. The botanical infusion is proofed using pristine spring water from the Coppola family's Napa Valley estate, helping create its distinctive balance of bitter, sweet, citrus, herbal, and floral characteristics.

The aroma is particularly expressive, opening with lemon peel and orange blossom accompanied by sweet marjoram and summer savory thyme. More unusual savory notes emerge alongside pomegranate, cranberry, clove, pine nut, and star anise, creating a complex aromatic experience.

On the palate, bitter blood orange peel leads before giving way to a floral lift of lemon verbena. Maraschino cherry and orange-black-tea spice introduce fruit and warmth, while savory mushroom and toasted walnut contribute additional depth and weight. The profile concludes with a distinctly bittersweet herbal character.

Bottled at 24% ABV (48 proof) in a 750ml format, Hypatia Rubi Amaro can be enjoyed neat, over ice, or incorporated into sophisticated cocktails. The producer particularly recommends it for adding botanical complexity and depth to Negronis and other amaro-driven cocktails.

For drinkers exploring American amaro, craft herbal liqueurs, or unconventional cocktail ingredients, Hypatia Rubi Amaro offers an intriguing alternative to traditional Italian expressions with a distinctly California identity.
