Amaro is an herbalized spirit that has its origins as far back as Roman times. By the 19th century, many Italian families were producing myriad amari (that’s plural for amaro) using herbs that were found in local habitats. Many aimed their recipes as medicinals, and later became common consumption as a digestif at the end of dinner. Today, in the modern cocktail application, amari’s range is so deep and vast that we use them interchangeably as apperitifs, digestifs and most importantly as high-quality components to cocktails. Join spirits expert Christophe Bakunas as you walk through the last 2000 years of amari together in this special hands-on cocktail class! A light snack will be served during class.
