Lustra Classic – Citrus & Herb
A botanical spirit experience that touches senses and soul
The Birth of a Modern Classic
Lustra Classic emerged from a fascination with the forgotten art of botanical spirits. In an era when most alcoholic beverages are produced in industrial facilities with artificial flavors, we return to the traditional methods of monastery distillers and apothecary-alchemists who allowed their elixirs to mature for months to achieve perfection.
Our inspiration comes from the 18th-century European tradition of "aqua vitae" – literally "water of life" – where herbs and spices were macerated in high-quality alcohol to create both medicinal and culinary elixirs. Lustra Classic is our modern interpretation of this ancient art, combining the wisdom of the past with contemporary knowledge of flavor profiles and botanical extraction.
Why Choose Lustra Classic?
Careful Ingredient Selection
Ceylon cinnamon, wild rosemary, hand-peeled citrus, and black pepper are chosen for their unique flavors and health benefits.
Traditional Maceration
All botanicals are macerated for at least 8 weeks in organic ethanol, followed by gentle aging for a rich, layered taste.
Complex Sensory Experience
A vibrant citrus scent, warm woody notes, and a long, complex finish create a unique sensory journey.
Culinary Applications and Cocktail Creations
While Lustra Classic is perfect to enjoy neat, it also lends itself excellently to culinary applications and cocktail creations. A few drops in warm herbal tea transforms a simple drink into a complex, warming experience. In the kitchen, it can be used to perfume desserts or as a finishing touch for chocolate dishes.
