Crodino


Crodino is a non-alcoholic bitter aperitif, produced since 1964. Since 1995 it is manufactured by Gruppo Campari. It is an orange-coloured drink made from herbal extracts and sugar and sold in bottles. It is primarily consumed in Italy and other European countries.
It is closed with a crown cap.
Distribution started in the UK in 2021, and in France in 2022. The expansion to new markets was made possible thanks to the growing popularity of Aperol spritz worldwide and its bitter flavor. In 2023, production was moved out of Crodo.

Name

The name Crodino derives from a comune in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Crodo, Italy, where it has been bottled since 1964.

Cocktails
