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.

    Made with plymouth and glad I did; the strong gin provides a good backbone against lots of sugar and citrus. Liked it more the more I sipped

    Oops. Fixed. I was trying to transcribe from memory and I failed (slightly). The 1 oz instead of 3/4 oz would still work but will end your evening quicker.

  • Re Cross Town Traffic, 3 days ago danoman89 commented:

    Agree with reducing lemon juice

  • Re Bamboo, 3 days ago randallr commented:

    Made an Improved Bamboo with 1/2 oz of Monkey 47 gin. Really nice palette starter for my fancy dinner (a burger, in this case, although I was sorely tempted by my conservas).

  • Re Soul Wandering, 3 days ago noksagt commented:

    Fred: this is more spirit rich than on your blog (1 oz each of gin and genever vs 3/4). Was this intentional?
