Salto is our ode to Tampa and the founders’ favorite cocktail, the Negroni. We wanted something spicy and citrusy and powerful enough to stand out in cocktails. For the spice we used African grain of paradise alongside healthy doses of clove and cinnamon. For the citrus we use lemon alongside three distinct types of orange peel: sweet navel oranges, bergamot peel and bitter orange peel. And wait for it... toasted cumin seeds. Less than a few grams per batch yet its toasty undercurrent is so distinctive. Why is it called navy strength? In theory at this proof it can light gunpowder. Be careful with this one!
