Luxardo Amaro Abano

750 mL
Item # 16599

Created in 1952, this recipe feels and tastes more old school than that in a great way. Referencing the ancient roman hot spring nearby in the Veneto, featured on the traditional style label the liqueur itself is a medium-bitter amaro made by infusing wild herbs from the Euganean Hills along with cardamom, cinnamon, and bitter orange peel. A top shelf staple of the Italian School.

Staff Pick Notes

Recently I've been drinking my amaro hot. Sometimes served simply out of a nice, cozy mug with an orange peel expressed on top (I like to go 3.5oz hot water to 1.5oz amaro). Sometimes I add a shot to the base of my moka pot and make coffee with a split water/amaro base. But more to the point I've been trying it with as many different amari as I can to see what really works, and the Luxardo Abano is my go to. The flavor profile is darker, richer, nocturnal, with bitter orange and chocolate dominating at first, then cardamom, dried herbs, and a dramatic zing of cinnamon and black pepper. The bitterness is contained to the finish, and is pleasant and not overwhelming, just a bit on the sweeter side of amaro, which is what you want when serving it hot. To me it goes especially well with the flavors of a darker espresso roast.
