Opius Rubedo (Bitter Orange) 200 ml

Opius Rubedo is a deeply botanical bitter orange aperitif handcrafted in Belgium. Bright orange peel and chinotto open the palate before gentian and rhubarb bring earthy depth and a pleasantly lingering bitterness.

Crafted using a combination of botanical extraction and distillation, Rubedo has remarkable concentration without becoming syrupy. It delivers the structure and complexity you expect from a classic European aperitif, making it just as comfortable topped with tonic as it is in a sophisticated spritz.

Why We Love It

Rubedo has the kind of bitterness that keeps you coming back for another sip. The citrus is vibrant rather than sweet, while the gentian and rhubarb add layers of complexity that make it feel decidedly grown up.

It's one of our favorite choices for anyone who enjoys Italian-style bitter aperitifs and wants something that is elegant, balanced, and unmistakably botanical.

Try It With

Pour 2 oz Opius Rubedo over ice, top with 4 oz premium tonic water, and garnish with a fresh orange slice.

For an elevated spritz, combine 2 oz Rubedo with 3 oz non-alcoholic sparkling wine and finish with a splash of soda water. The bubbles brighten the citrus while the bitterness lingers beautifully on the finish.
