About this product
Iconic. Aromatic. Endlessly versatile.
Born in Bologna in 1885, Amaro Montenegro is more than just a drink — it’s a piece of Italian history in a bottle. Crafted from 40 hand-selected botanicals sourced from around the globe, this amaro balances sweet citrus, warming spice, and delicate floral notes with effortless grace. Its complexity comes not from intensity, but from harmony — a soft, inviting bitterness that unfolds like a well-told story.
In Ireland, this legendary liqueur has found a devoted following among cocktail lovers, home mixologists, and those who simply enjoy sipping something unique after dinner. Whether neat, over ice, or mixed into a contemporary serve, Amaro Montenegro bridges tradition and modernity with charm.
Why we love it:
Amaro Montenegro is a masterclass in balance: bitter but not bracing, sweet but not cloying. With its perfumed aroma, velvety mouthfeel, and graceful complexity, it’s an easy entry into the world of amari — and a staple in both classic and contemporary cocktails. For those just discovering bitters or long-time aficionados, it’s an essential bottle.
