Amaro is a type of herbal liqueur that originates from Italy. It is typically bittersweet and is made by infusing a base spirit with various herbs, roots, and spices. The flavor profile can vary widely, ranging from sweet and floral to bitter and earthy, depending on the ingredients used. Amaro is often enjoyed as a digestif, which means it is consumed after meals to aid digestion.
There are many different brands and styles of Amaro, with some of the most popular being Averna, Fernet-Branca, and Campari. Each brand has its own unique recipe, resulting in distinct flavors and aromas. Amaro can be served neat, on the rocks, or used as an ingredient in cocktails.
