Nothing Rhymes with Rhubarb (simple amaro + soda)
Going to Italy in a few months, which amaro should I try to find?
reddit.comOlder bottle of Averna, worth selling?
I’m clearing out some of my Dads stuff and he has this sealed bottle he must have gotten some years ago.
We’re not really drinkers so won’t enjoy it ourselves.
Is it worth anything to try to sell since it’s an older bottle? Just wondering since I don’t know much about it.
Would someone happen to know where can I find Amaro NONINO in Central Europe?
I'll go on a trip with my parents in about a month, to Prague, then Vienna then Budapest.
Would someone happen to know where I can buy Nonino in one of these 3 cities please?
If I order one from Amazon it will cost me 40€ in total, delivery + the Amaro 💀..
Thank you

before posting I left with the Cansiglio and Marseille. Both are fantastic, had a couple glasses of each this evening and I’m looking forward to trying some of the recommendations next time 👍
I didn't know there were Mexican amari
Found out my downstairs Mexican restaurant has an Amaro Flight. I usually drink amaro with soda water so these were quite the adventure. The ones on the sides were good. Middle is very strong.
UPDATE: Homemade South Indian Inspired Amaro - Tastings and Recipe
Hello! I can't believe its been two years since that last post. To be honest, I'd forgotten about that I even made this and its been lurking in a dark cupboard. I found it while clearing out the alcohol shelf and decided it needed an update.
The flavour has definitely balanced out compared to the firsts tasting. The bitterness is still strong, so might cut down on the bittering agents by about 10-15% to make it more palatable.
The main flavours I get now are the coriander, fennel and orange, with a zing from the black pepper. The bitters are still going strong. The once prominent chilli and curry leaves have dissipated and become a background hum. The toasted coconut and coffee beans have paid off, giving it a nice nutty roundness.
Would I have this neat or on ice? Probably not. I've added it to a Paper Plane and I'm liking the spice and bitterness it brings. I'm keen to hear any other cocktail suggestions.
Recipe:
Orange Zest - 10g
Lemon Zest - 5g
Calendula Flower - 0.5g
Curry Leaf, Fresh - 1.5g
Kasoori Methi - 1g
Elderflower - 0.5g
Hibiscus, Dried - 0.8g
Long Red Chilli, Fresh - 4g
Black Pepper - 0.5g
Fennel Seeds - 1g
Coriander Seeds - 0.8g
Toasted Coconut Flakes - 5g
Coffee Beans - 3g
Angelica Root - 1g
Wormwood - 0.8g
Green Cardamon - 0.8g
Vodka, 100 proof - 450g
Infused it for 8 days, then strained and added water and simply syrup.
I think I added 150g of Simple Syrup and 75g of water. My notes are a bit iffy, so I'd do this to taste.
I also have a Bergamot and Hibiscus Amaro in the works, so watch this space!
Astor haul from your recommendations
Thanks to the community at r/Amaro , I received some good recommendations to my post:

I started with the Forthave Monofloral, and it is awesome. I'm still a noob, but I get crisp eucalyptus, and a honey nose and finish. Excited to try the others!
