Vecchio Amaro del Capo - Red Hot Edition

Calabria’s Fiery Twist on a Classic.
Vecchio Amaro del Capo Red Hot Edition takes the beloved Calabrian herbal liqueur and ignites it with a bold, spicy kick. This limited edition version of Italy’s iconic digestif reimagines tradition with a daring infusion of chilli pepper and Calabrian heat, creating a thrilling balance of sweetness, spice, and herbal depth. It’s Amaro del Capo — but with fire in its soul.

Crafted in Calabria by the Caffo family, master distillers for over a century, Red Hot Edition captures the essence of southern Italy’s passion and intensity. The base remains true to the original — a blend of 29 herbs, roots, and citrus peels grown under the Mediterranean sun — but with the added warmth of red chilli, carefully infused to achieve a perfectly judged burn. The result is a liqueur that’s smooth yet electrifying, herbal yet fiery, and entirely unforgettable.

Each sip unfolds in layers: first the familiar sweetness of orange and licorice, then the soft bitterness of Mediterranean herbs, and finally a warming chilli sensation that lingers beautifully on the palate. For adventurous drinkers in Ireland, Vecchio Amaro del Capo Red Hot Edition offers a new way to experience Italian amaro — bold, contemporary, and irresistibly spicy.

Whether served straight from the freezer, over ice, or in a daring cocktail, this edition transforms the ritual of after-dinner drinking into something truly exciting. It’s a toast to Calabria’s wild spirit and the fiery hearts of those who dare to try something new.

Why we love it:
We love Vecchio Amaro del Capo Red Hot Edition for its fearless innovation. It keeps the soul of the original — herbal, balanced, and elegant — but adds a Calabrian spark that makes it stand out. It’s smooth enough for sipping yet bold enough to spice up your cocktail creations. For fans of Italian liqueurs in Ireland, this is a must-try — a true fusion of tradition and thrill.
