Zagara Di Calabria Cocktail List

It has been love at first sip between Zagara di Calabria and me. This amazing liqueur is the perfect representation of the Territory of Alto Jonio. All the Piana di Sibari area is plenty of citrus fields and during the Spring time the parfume of Zagara surrounds over it all.
