Bitter orange with a spicy herbal background combines with fruity mix of cherry, pomegranate and strawberry. The bright red colour of this spirit is reflected in its taste, for it is a mischievous devil. Like a naughty schoolboy creeping up on you to play a prank, the early stages are quite innocuous. The initial taste is rather sweet, but it fades quickly to reveal a pleasant burst of citrus followed by a complex herbal medley of flavours. Just as the herbs start to dance around the tongue, so the bitterness starts to build; and it keeps building, and then builds a bit more. This is a bitter-tasting drink that likes to assert itself by hanging around on the palate for quite some time after you have swallowed the last drop. Alcohol 21% 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.
