It may have similar properties to rocket fuel but its rocket the salad leaf which forms the base for this lovely old Italian liqueur.

The team at Lost Loch love history, so when they came across an old recipe book with this gem in it – they couldn’t resist! Rocket leaves, cloves, orange and lemon peel are macerated in a simple gin base for a few months until a deep green colour is achieved. The Rucolino has similar properties to an absinthe and once water is added it turns a lovely shade of white emerald with a beautiful opacity.
