Amaro
The word ‘Amaro’ literally means ‘bitter’. The flavour spectrum is broad, ranging from very light to ultra-rich. It is typically made by macerating herbs & roots in alcohol and then sweetened.
History of Amaro
Recipes can date back hundreds of years originating from monasteries or pharmacies. For example, through prohibition and up until the 1940’s, one Italian Amaro, Fernet Branca was actually sold in pharmacies and was used in hospitals as a cure for cholera.
We showcase an extensive library and ever-growing collection of Amaro sourced from all over the world, many of which are exclusive to our venue.
