Far back in 1907 in Borrello, characteristic mountain town, lived the Mayor, Antonio Evangelista, authoritarian and strict person, but highly appreciated and respected, known for his strong passion for alchemy. During the long and cold winter evenings, the Mayor had the habit of preparing a special beverage, which heated by the fireplace, released an intense and intoxicating scent, a true antidote against the bitter cold, but also a moment of hedonistic relaxation.
The continuous and insistent demands for this beverage, defined at this point as “magical” or that “warmed even the soul”, lead the Mayor to commercialize it under the name of Punch Abruzzo, thus founding the company Evangelista Liqueurs.
Punch Abruzzo, born as a beverage to savour “Hot” in winter, was immediately appreciated and loved also “Cold”, as a digestive or on ice cream to make an “affogato”, in coffee and sweets.
