Amaro Highlight: Amaro Averna ☀️

Amaro Averna is best known as the substituted ingredient needed for the ever delicious Black Manhattan. A bittersweet amaro, it has rich flavors of caramel, rosemary, and juniper on the palate and is slightly sweet and herbal on the nose.

Originally made in 1868 by Benedictine Monks, the recipe was gifted to Salvatore Averna in thanks for his commitment to the local community and later mass produced by his descendants in Siciliy.

🍋 Enjoy neat, with ice or paired with our housemade lemon sorbetto.

Amaro Highlight ✨

Zucca is a rabarbaro amaro named after the famed Caffe Zucca in Milan. While made with rhubarb, do not expect the tart notes of a rhubarb pie, but instead the surprising notes of earth that are complimented by flavors of cola and toffee. 

On the nose, the aromas of burnt sugar and hickory.

Traditionally drank with coca-cola, Zucca makes for a delightful mezcal Godfather riff or enjoyed with our Tiramisu—cheers! 🍨
