About this deal

Amaro, the Italian word for bitter, often refers to the classic Italian after dinner liqueur. Its flavor profile is bitter sweet with an alcohol content of about 15% to 40%. Amaro is made by macerating herbs, roots, flowers, bark, citrus peels in alcohol. It's then filtered and mixed with a simple syrup. There are many different kinds of Amaro and they each have a unique recipe of macerated herbs and roots. If you're familiar with Amaro the brands you probably know are Averna, Montenegro, Ramazzotti, and Lucano, which comes from the Basilicata region. Recipes for Amaro are all closely guarded, and many of them were originally created in monasteries or pharmacies. When you travel to Italy and visit monasteries, you'll find unique liqueurs and Amaro in monastery gift shops. A favorite recipe is a Santoni Spritz: 2 parts Amaro Santoni, and 4 parts Prosecco, garnished with an olive. The last time I put together a lineup of “new look” amari was in the spring of 2020, when most bars around the country were closed and the opportunity to go out and enjoy an amaro with friends seemed like it might never return. Things have changed, not only in the landscape of bar and restaurant openings but in the amaro market, too. Now, with a number of new-school releases on my radar, it’s time to take a closer look at the essential bottles to try. (If you’re looking for my thoughts on must-have classic amaro expressions , don’t worry; we have that, too.)

The Liana Collection’s portfolio focusses on independent, sustainable brands from ‘inspiring’ founders. The company has a ‘passion’ for working with brands that have knowledge, experience, creativity and innovation, as well as being as ‘sustainable as possible’. Amari are bitter liqueurs from Italy, a concoction of macerated herbs, botanicals and fruits in alcohol. Amaro Santoni was created by Gabriello Santoni in 1961 in Florence from a secret recipe that combines 34 herbs including the crucial flavours of rhubarb root, iris flower and olive leaf to create a drink that is at once sweet, bitter, complex and satisfying. The rhubarb and iris link the drink firmly to its palace of creation – rhubarb root has long been sold in the merchant spice shops of Florence since the Renaissance and the iris features on the Florentine coat of arms. Pink, declined in its hottest shade of peach, is the color scheme at the center of summer 2023, and drinks based on Amaro Santoni, with the characteristic red and orange huesof its precious botanicals, also follow fashion trends on the color front. A new and original way of drinking, which goes beyond the usual concept of after-dinner bitters, for those who love fresh taste with style.Director of The Liana Collection David Wood said: “Amaro Santoni shares so many of the values that have made the other brands in our portfolio successful, and we cannot wait to help grow the brand in the years and months ahead.” Amaro Santoni Americano: 2 parts Amaro Santoni, 1 part red vermouth, 2 parts soda water.
