[2] It is an orange-coloured drink made from herbal extracts and sugar and sold in 10 centilitres (3.5 imp fl oz; 3.4 US fl oz) bottles.

[6] The name Crodino derives from a comune in the province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Crodo, Italy, where it has been bottled since 1964.
It is used to make Sixteen Rum, a cocktail of Piedmont, consisting of rum, vermouth (Martini rosso or other), Crodino, and lemon juice or a lemon slice.
[7][8] Typical portions are about half a shot each of rum and vermouth (¾ oz or 25 ml), and a full bottle (100 ml) of Crodino.
