Mandarino Amaro is the new "it girl" on the cocktail scene. We're not just saying that; it's Made in Alberta's 2024 Best Alcoholic Product!
Our Mandarino Amaro is a long-awaited passion project of our founders. We aimed to capture the essence of Italian sightseeing in a bottle with a distinct Mandarin orange twist. As the name and orange hue suggest, this is a citrus-forward amaro with notes of cherry, rhubarb, and allspice. This sippable bittersweet liqueur makes for a perfect aperitif and can transform a simple cocktail into a complex, crave-worthy drink! Similar to Aperol, our Mandarino Amaro is great in a refreshing summer spritz or a spicy Margarita!
What IS Amaro? See the notes below for more!
Amaro is a traditional Italian-style liqueur noted for its bitter-sweet palate. Amaro actually means "bitter" in Italian. Although you aren't familiar with this term, you've almost definitely come across an amaro without realizing it. There might even be one sitting in your home bar right now! Examples of some popular amaro are:
- Campari (famously in the Negroni cocktail),
- Aperol (used in spritz cocktails),
- Fernet Branca (dark, very bitter)
- Cynar (made from artichokes)
- Averna Amaro (used in Black Manhattans)
In general, amaro is a bittersweet herbal liqueur made by infusing an alcoholic base, such as a neutral spirit, grape brandy, or wine, with botanical ingredients such as herbs, citrus peels, roots, spices, and flowers.
Most importantly, all amaro are unique! Every distillery has its own secret recipe, each blending bitters, spices, herbs, and fruits. Similar to Aperol, our Mandarino Amaro was made for a refreshing summer spritz or a spicy Margarita!
