Amaro Montenegro Liqueur is an Italian Amaro traditionally made by infusing grape brandy with a (usually secret) mix of herbs, flowers, aromatic bark, citrus peel and spices ,a blend that can include anything from cardamom to elderberry flowers. Then it’s sweetened with sugar syrup and aged, sometimes for years. It’s silky, like a liqueur, bitter and sweet in varying degrees, aromatically complex, both delicious and fascinating.
