Nocino della Mesolcina is a traditional digestive liqueur from the Canton of Ticino, Switzerland, made from the husks of green walnuts harvested around St. John’s Day and macerated in grappa or pure alcohol with the addition of sugar and secret spices. Dark in color, with a bold and lingering flavor and digestive and antioxidant properties, it is enjoyed after a meal as a digestif, but can also be used to flavor ice cream. The liqueur is also known as “ratafià,” and its recipe has been passed down from generation to generation, with individual variations.
