Amaro, which is Italian for "bitter", is an Italian herbal liqueur variety that is commonly employed for its digestive qualities, taken either before or after a meal (aperitivo/digestivo). An amaro has a bitter-sweet flavour. Amari (plural) have been popular for more than a century, famous for their use in the Negroni or Spritz. Alternatively, an amaro can simply be enjoyed straight, or cold on ice with a slice of orange.

Applewood Okar Amaro 500ml

This spirit is literally the 'Taste of Australia', an amaro with an Australian spin. It just so happens that roughly 90% of all native Australian botanicals are also intensely bitter. One native ingredient with a starring role, the Riberry, has a cranberry-tartness, hints of clove and bark-like bitterness that make this Australian aperitif a stand-out.
