Amaro has been gaining in popularity lately, particularly as a spicy and unique addition to craft cocktails. If you aren’t sure what it is just yet, but want to give it a try and see what all the fuss is about, we’ve got the list for you.

Amaro is an Italian herbal liqueur that is often consumed as an after dinner digestif. It has a bitter / sweet profile and an herbaceousness that give structure and robust flavor when mixed in a cocktail.

The fun part about Amaro is that it can be made with different herbs and citrus to fit the maker’s tastes, so just like wine there are many different variations to try. Each brand will lend its own special magic to the glass.

So if you have a bottle of Amaro at the ready, get it out and start mixing! These 5 Amaro cocktails are a great place to start.
