Spirit Trend: Rebirth Of Amaro
With the low alcohol cocktail trend in full swing and the never ending desire of bartenders to create complexity in unique drinks, Amaro is having a moment. Amaro technically refers to a group of Italian bitter liqueurs, literally translating as ‘bitter.’ More commonly, however, it refers to any and all bitter liqueurs, regardless of country of origin. Amaros have an alcohol content ranging from 16% abv to 40% abv and get their flavor from a, usually secret, combination of herbs, botanicals and roots. Like many delicious potables, amaros have a medicinal history, enjoyed for their curative properties before being appreciated for the complexity of flavor they offer.
