Amari & bitter friends: an update

Prior to The Great Site Update of Christmas 2014, we published a list of amari hidden under a link on the recommended brands page. We have put some time and thought into our bitter friends, and have split the list into our top dozen or so recommendations, plus a list of other amari that are available.

Some amari are easy to find; others ... not so much. There are hundreds of amari that aren't even imported to the US. Look for amari at larger liquor stores, or specialty stores in the Italian section of your city.

  • Re Tijuana Lady, 5 hours 2 minutes ago Thierry Vandevelde commented:

    A little too vanilla forward for my taste but balanced nonetheless.

  • Re Muisca Sour, 5 hours ago Thierry Vandevelde commented:

    Came here after tasting the Tijuana Lady. This is indeed more complex and less vanilla forward. However, the amount of citrus makes it too acid. I would reduce the lime to 3/4 or add 1 tsp of agave syrup.

    Very good as is. Shines with a high end agricole white. Well done !

  • Re Hello Brooklyn 2.0, 6 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Is this the actual recipe circa 2019? Or is it a guestimate of it (e.g. likely altered rather than authentic?) I haven't tried it, but at first read it looks unbalanced (sweet) as an equal parts. The undated note above says that the menu listed rye, cardamaro, dry vermouth, chartreuse verte; and the 2023 menu (online) says "Rye, Amaro, Dry Vermouth, Chartreuse Verte." So the establishment might be varying the amaro used; but I do wonder if the original used green rather than yellow chartreuse.

    Needs .25 oz simple to sweeten but also round the cocktail
