THAT’S AMARO
Three must-try spots for the Italian herbal liqueur that’s Chicago’s latest spirit sensation:
Cherry Circle Room. Go for the frothily potent Central Standard Time—bourbon, rum, port, amaro, and egg white—at this Chicago Athletic Association hotel mixology spot. 12 S. Michigan Ave., 2nd Fl., 312-792-3515; lsdatcaa .com/cherry-circle-room
Osteria Langhe. Sip the Smokey Eye, a tonguetingling concoction of mescal, chile liqueur, amaro, Mandarine Napoleon, and bitters. 2824 W. Armitage Ave., 773-6611582; osterialanghe.com
Bar Roma. Blood orange amara gives this restaurant’s aperol spritz a floral, fruity kick. 5101 N. Clark St., 773-942-7572; barromachicago.com
