Created in 1815 by Ausano Ramazzotti, Ramazzotti Amaro Liqueur is Italy's first bitter liqueur. However, Ramazzotti didn't gain popularity until 1848, when Ausano opened a bar near the La Scala opera theatre, and started serving his amaro instead of coffee. After Ausano's death in 1866, his family continued to operate the business, and in 1877 the Fratelli Ramazzotti was established. Ausano's grandchildren had utilized the new technologies of the era to set up a profitable export business using the railway grid being built at the time. Ramazzotti Amaro became successful throughout Italy, and was quickly spreading through the rest of Europe. Today, Ramazzotti Amaro is owned by the Pernod Ricard Group, but is still produced in Italy. Ramazzotti Amaro Liqueur continues to be produced in accordance with the original recipe created almost 200 years ago - a recipe known by only three people. Ramazzotti gains its distinctive flavor from thirty-three carefully selected herbs and spices, although notes of orange peel, cardamom, myrrh, galangal and cinnamon are the most pronounced. Alcohol 30% Volume.   

Amaro Montenegro, 'the liqueur of the virtues', was created in 1885 thanks to the lengthy, impassioned experiments of a famous distiller and herbalist, Stanislao Cobianchi. The name Montenegro is a dedication to the beautiful princess Elena of Montenegro, who was engaged to Victor Emanuel III. In its over 100 years of history, Amaro Montenegro has seen its success grow continuously up to the present day, now being one of the leading brands on the Italian market. It can be enjoyed straight, with soda water and lemon rind, or hot, as well as in various combinations in modern cocktails. Alcohol 23% Volume.
