Amaro Ramazzotti

Amaro Ramazzotti is an Italian herbal liqueur with a rich history dating back to 1815 when Ausano Ramazzotti first created the recipe in Milan.

It’s renowned for its complex blend of aromatic herbs, roots, and citrus peels, which are macerated in alcohol to extract their flavors. The recipe for Amaro Ramazzotti remains a closely guarded secret, but it’s known to include ingredients such as bitter orange peel, gentian root, cinchona bark, and other botanicals. After the maceration process, the liquid is sweetened with sugar and then aged in oak barrels to develop its distinctive character.

Amaro Ramazzotti is characterized by its bittersweet flavor profile, with notes of citrus, herbs, and spices. It has a deep amber color and a velvety texture that coats the palate. Traditionally enjoyed as a digestif, it is often served neat or on the rocks after a meal to aid digestion.

In addition to its role as a digestif, Amaro Ramazzotti is also a versatile cocktail ingredient. It can add depth and complexity to classic cocktails like the Negroni or the Old Fashioned, as well as more modern creations. Its complex flavor profile makes it a favorite among bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts alike, offering endless possibilities for creative mixology.
