Select

Select is an aromatic Venetian liqueur often enjoyed as an aperitif and used in Venetian Spritz. The recipe is based on more than thirty different botanicals, including rhubarb and juniper berries. The resulting ruby-red liqueur has citrusy and herbal aromas.

On the palate, it has a complex, bittersweet flavor dominated by earthy, tropical, and citrus notes. The finish is long and fresh. Select was created in 1920 by the Pilla brothers, who owned a distillery in the Castello neighborhood. The drink can be enjoyed on the rocks, mixed with soda or mineral water, or added to cocktails.
