What is Amaro Marasso?
Amaro Marasso stands out with its unapologetically bitter profile, crafted from 16 carefully selected botanicals for a bold, complex flavor. Interestingly, the brand's logo features a snake with a split tongue, symbolizing the amaro's intense "bite" and nodding to its name, which means "viper" in Italian.
Why do we love Amaro Marasso?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Amaro Marasso for its unapologetically bitter profile, crafted from 16 hand-picked botanicals with minimal sugar added.

How do you drink Amaro Marasso?
Amaro Marasso shines when sipped neat or over ice, allowing its complex herbal flavors to fully unfold on the palate. This boldly bitter amaro also adds depth to spirit-forward cocktails and pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes on cool autumn evenings, when its warming botanicals can be best appreciated.
Nose: Sharp herbal notes hit first, with wormwood and gentian taking the lead. Subtle hints of citrus peel and aromatic spices like cinnamon and cardamom follow. A slight medicinal quality reminiscent of root beer lingers in the background.
Palate: Intensely bitter from the start, with a pronounced wormwood character. Earthy notes of dandelion root and chicory blend with bright citrus. Spice flavors become more pronounced, particularly clove and nutmeg. A touch of dark cherry provides subtle sweetness to balance the bitterness.
Finish: Long and decidedly bitter. The herbal notes persist, with gentian and wormwood dominating. A slight warmth from the alcohol emerges, accompanied by lingering spice and a hint of licorice. The bitterness builds, leaving a dry, almost astringent sensation on the tongue.
Amaro Marasso is crafted using an ancient family recipe, infusing 16 carefully selected herbs, roots, berries, flowers, and spices in small batches. The production process yields an intensely aromatic and firmly bitter amaro with minimal sugar, staying true to its "truly bitter" name and reptilian mascot.
