Russo Nocino 750ml

I poured a little into my evening espresso and the walnut and clove notes came through beautifully without overpowering the coffee. It's become my new favorite after-dinner treat, and the bottle is somehow already half empty.

I’ve been nursing a bottle for a few weeks now, and it’s become my go-to nightcap—the coffee note is bold but not bitter, and a splash in an Espresso Martini makes the whole thing taste like a grown-up dessert. It’s rich enough to sip straight, and the walnut warmth lingers just right.

I swapped my usual amaro for this nocino in an Espresso Martini and the walnut-coffee combo was spot-on. It's rich without being syrupy, and the cloves and nutmeg give it a nice warmth that lingers.
