Disaronno Day celebrates 500 years of Italian liqueur
This April 19th, raise a glass to Disaronno Day and celebrate 500 years of the Italian liqueur.
Originating in Saronno, Italy, Disaronno’s secret recipe dates back to 1525, when artist Bernardino Luini, a student of Leonardo da Vinci, was commissioned to paint a fresco in Saronno.
Inspired by a local innkeeper, his muse, she gifted him a fragrant amber liqueur – the origin of Disaronno.
Passed down through generations, Domenico Reina established the brand in the early 1900s.
The square cap bottle, handcrafted in Murano, Venice, is celebrated as a masterpiece of Italian craftsmanship and a global symbol of Italian style and was once displayed at the Louvre in Paris.
The taste of Disaronno Originale makes it a versatile liqueur that can be consumed on the rocks or to create a variety of craft cocktails such as a refined Disaronno Sour or a Disaronno Spritz.
A modern addition to the heritage of the brand, Disaronno Velvet delivers an all-white, smooth texture and persistent floral and fruity fragrance that can be mixed with a cocktail.
