Amore Amaro

I really love amari. Ever since I visited the production plant of Amaro Montenegro in Bologna, the dark herbal liqueur became one of my favourite products. I use it for example to upgrade any Old Fashioned with aged (brown) spirit. It’s amazing how the amaro really uplifts the drink.
What I’ve never done before, is mixing a real amaro-forward cocktail. 

Damn, I now wonder why I waited this long. For this first try I used a Caribbean Amaro. This is my version of the "Amore Amaro", with Amaro di Angostura.
