A Cocktail Inspired by the Garden’s Bitter Beauty

Our Cardoon Fleece is a tribute to one of the garden’s most striking and often overlooked plants: the cardoon.

Known for its towering stalks, silver-green leaves and unmistakably earthy bitterness, the cardoon is a close relative of the artichoke and it’s the inspiration behind this cocktail.

Cynar, an artichoke-based amaro, captures the same botanical depth and garden-grown character we see in our own cardoons as they thrive through the season. Paired with fresh lemon for brightness and egg white for a soft, silky texture, the Cardoon Fleece turns the natural bitterness of the garden into something balanced, fragrant, and unexpectedly comforting.

We let the garden lead.

The ingredients, flavours, and inspiration come directly from what grows here, transforming seasonal plants, humble or bold. Into drinks that celebrate their unique character. The Cardoon Fleece is a glassful of the garden’s wild charm, shaped by the plants that define our landscape.
