Absinthe, the characteristic soldier's bitter of Gardone Riviera During the war, Gardone Riviera was not only a refuge for poets and aristocrats; it was also a land of silent returns. Among the hills scented with olive trees and the shores of the lake, the soldier returned from the eastern front. He carried with him joys and sorrows, in his hand he held a bunch of aromatic herbs and a crumpled diary. In a small cellar beneath his house, he developed a recipe inspired by French absinthe, but with a soul from Lake Garda: with vanilla, absinthe powder and cinnamon, cloves, cocoa, pepper, bay leaf, with a touch of orange peel and magical lemon from Lake Garda, he called it “the green bitter of memory”
