The winking bartender is certainly in a jolly mood as he pours out several glasses of the aperitif–textually claiming to be the oldest form of gentian concoction–as he brandishes an acrid adjective to let folks know precisely what they’re getting into. Against the deep blue background, the bartender’s jacket and the deep maroon of the drink contrast effectively as the oversized letters of the product stand out in relief as a makeshift bar.
