Description
Amaro Averna is a Sicilian amaro with a rich, harmonious flavour that weaves together bitter and sweet citrus, savoury herbs, Mediterranean roots, honey, liquorice and light woody tones. The balance of sweetness against a pleasant bitterness is its defining trait. The classic serve is over ice with zest: fill a wide rocks glass with ice, pour 50 ml and drop in a twist of fresh orange peel. Neat, serve it lightly chilled or at room temperature in a coupe, after a substantial lunch or dinner. In cocktails it works in both light and strong formats: an Averna Lemonade with soda, ice and a slice of lemon; a Black Manhattan, where Averna replaces sweet vermouth alongside rye whiskey and Angostura bitters. At the table it suits dark chocolate and cocoa desserts, almond pastries, aged cheeses, walnuts and prunes.
