Bruto is a bittersweet liqueur that has been described as "America's answer to Campari." It is coloured ruby red with cochineal, as is traditional in Italian liqueurs.

Bruto Americano is made from a variety of herbs, roots, and other botanicals, with its "bitterness primarily coming from gentian root; the citrus notes mostly from California-grown Seville orange; and the woodsy notes from balsam fir and Cascara sagrada (bark from the California buckthorn)." "Some ingredients are hot-steeped, others are cold-infused."
