What is Ramazzotti Amaro?
Ramazzotti Amaro is a beloved Italian herbal liqueur with a rich history dating back to 1815, when Ausano Ramazzotti created it as a digestive aid in his small bar in Milan. What sets this amaro apart is its unique blend of 33 herbs and roots, including gentian, rhubarb, and cinnamon, resulting in a complex flavor profile that balances sweet and bitter notes. Interestingly, Ramazzotti Amaro played a significant role in Italian cinema history. In the 1960s, the company sponsored the production of several popular Italian films, including Federico Fellini's "8½," helping to finance and promote Italian cinema during its golden age.
Why do we love Ramazzotti Amaro?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Ramazzotti Amaro for its rich complexity and versatility in mixed drinks. Unlike rum, Ramazzotti is an Italian amaro (bitter liqueur) that stands out with its unique blend of 33 herbs and spices, including gentian root, cinnamon, and orange peel, creating a balanced profile of bitter, sweet, and spicy notes that can add depth and intrigue to a wide variety of cocktails.
How do you drink Ramazzotti Amaro?
Ramazzotti Amaro shines when sipped neat or on the rocks, allowing its complex herbal flavors to unfold slowly on the palate. This versatile Italian bitter also excels in spirit-forward cocktails, particularly those with whiskey or aged rum, and pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes or dark chocolate desserts, making it an ideal after-dinner drink for cool autumn evenings.

Nose: Herbal and citrusy with prominent notes of orange zest and cinnamon. Hints of vanilla and licorice add complexity. A subtle earthy undertone reminiscent of gentian root lingers in the background.
Palate: Bittersweet and well-balanced. Initial sweetness from cola and caramel quickly gives way to a pleasant bitterness. Herbaceous flavors of wormwood and myrrh blend with warming spices like cardamom and clove. A touch of dark cherry adds fruitiness.
Finish: Medium-long with a pleasant interplay of sweet and bitter. The herbal bitterness becomes more pronounced, accompanied by lingering notes of orange peel and a slight medicinal quality. A warm, spicy tingle persists on the tongue.
Ramazzotti Amaro is crafted using a secret blend of 33 herbs, spices, and roots that are macerated in alcohol, then combined with sugar syrup and caramel for color. What's fascinating about the production is that the exact recipe has remained unchanged since 1815, and it's still known only to a select few members of the Ramazzotti family, ensuring the liqueur's distinctive character is preserved through generations.
