Amargo Chuncho Bitter

Amargo Chuncho is an authentic Peruvian cocktail bitter, crafted with native herbs, roots, barks, and spices from the Andes and Amazon. Named after the “Chuncho” people of the Peruvian jungle, this artisanal bitters blend captures the vibrant flavors of the region in every drop.

Made in Lima, Chuncho Bitters are macerated and aged in oak barrels for several months, allowing the complex botanical profile to fully develop. The result is a deep, aromatic bitters with layers of cinnamon, clove, allspice, floral notes, bitter roots, and a subtle cacao and wood finish. It’s both bold and balanced, adding rich depth to cocktails without overwhelming other ingredients.

Amargo Chuncho is a key ingredient in Peru’s national cocktail—the Pisco Sour—where just a few dashes enhance the drink’s citrus brightness with warm spice and subtle bitterness. It also works beautifully in Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, or tropical rum-based drinks, making it a favorite among bartenders worldwide who value craft and authenticity.

This bitters comes in a small 75ml bottle, but its concentrated flavor goes a long way. Whether you’re exploring Latin American cocktails or looking to expand your bitters collection, Amargo Chuncho offers a unique, regional expression that adds heritage and complexity to any glass.
