Amaro: The Spirited World of Bittersweet, Herbal Liqueurs, with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas

Featuring more than 100 recipes, Amaro is the first book to demystify the ever-expanding, bittersweet world, and is a must-have for any home cocktail enthusiast or industry professional.

The European tradition of making bittersweet liqueurs--called amari in Italian--has been around for centuries. But it is only recently that these herbaceous digestifs have moved from the dusty back bar to center stage in the United States, and become a key ingredient on cocktail lists in the countryâ€™s best bars and restaurants. Lucky for us, today there is a dizzying range of amaro availableâ€”from familiar favorites like Averna and Fernet-Branca, to the growing category of regional, American-made amaro.

Starting with a rip-roaring tour of bars, cafÃ©s, and distilleries in Italy, amaroâ€™s spiritual home, Brad Thomas Parsonsâ€”author of the James Beard and IACP Awardâ€“winner Bittersâ€”will open your eyes to the rich history and vibrant culture of amaro today. With more than 100 recipes for amaro-centric cocktails, DIY amaro, and even amaro-spiked desserts, youâ€™ll be living (and drinking) la dolce vita.
