What is Amaro di Angostura Liqueur?
Amaro di Angostura Liqueur blends the iconic Angostura bitters with neutral spirits, creating a complex and bittersweet digestif that's both familiar and novel. Interestingly, despite its Italian-sounding name, this amaro is actually produced in Trinidad and Tobago, making it a unique Caribbean twist on the traditionally European liqueur category.
Why do we love Amaro di Angostura Liqueur?
Amaro di Angostura Liqueur offers cocktail enthusiasts a distinctive twist on the bitter liqueur category, blending the iconic Angostura aromatic bitters with neutral spirits, spices, and herbs. Unlike traditional amari from Italy, this Trinidad and Tobago-made liqueur showcases the unmistakable flavors of Angostura bitters in a more approachable, mixable format, making it a versatile ingredient for both classic and contemporary cocktails.
How do you drink Amaro di Angostura Liqueur?
Amaro di Angostura Liqueur shines when sipped neat or over ice, allowing its complex blend of herbs, spices, and bitters to unfold on the palate. It's also a versatile mixer in spirit-forward cocktails, particularly those with aged spirits, and makes for a delightful digestif after hearty meals or during cooler months, pairing exceptionally well with rich, savory dishes or dark chocolate desserts.
Nose: Rich spices dominate, with cinnamon and clove at the forefront. Hints of cocoa, dried orange peel, and licorice root add complexity. A subtle vanilla note softens the intense aromatics.
Palate: Bold and bittersweet. Dark chocolate and coffee flavors mingle with warming spices like nutmeg and allspice. Herbal notes of gentian and cardamom emerge, balanced by caramel sweetness. The signature Angostura bitters profile is present but not overpowering.
Finish: Long and pleasantly bitter. Cocoa and coffee linger, accompanied by a gentle warmth from the spices. A slight medicinal quality reminiscent of root beer provides an interesting twist. The bitterness builds gradually, leaving a dry, appetizing sensation that invites another sip.
Amaro di Angostura Liqueur is crafted using the same aromatic bitters that give the classic Angostura product its distinctive flavor, but with additional herbs and spices. The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, but we know it involves a careful blend of Caribbean rum, neutral spirits, and a proprietary mix of botanicals that are steeped and then distilled to create this unique Italian-style amaro.
