Amari

What is Amaro?

Amari (singular: Amaro) are the legendary Italian bitter herbal digestifs, traditionally crafted to be enjoyed after a heavy meal to aid digestion. But their reputation goes far beyond just settling a stomach—they are complex, spirited, and full of character.

Each bottle tells a story of its region. Depending on the local herbs, botanicals, and fruits used in production, every Amaro develops a distinctive personality. You might find notes of citrus peel, gentian root, chamomile, or even spicy licorice in your glass. From the sweet, herbal depth of classic Montenegro to the bold, intense bitterness of artisanal varieties, there is an Amaro to suit every palate.

How to Drink Amaro:

  • Neat: Served at room temperature to appreciate the full complexity of the botanicals.
  • On the Rocks: Over a large ice cube to slightly dilute and open up the flavors.
  • With a Twist: Add a fresh slice of orange or a twist of lemon peel to brighten the bitterness.
  • In Cocktails: Use as a bittering agent in Negronis, Old Fashioneds, or as a unique digestif on its own.
