Digestivo trifecta

No two amaros are the same, but this is a particularly diverse selection. What they all have in common is that they’ll hit the spot after a special celebratory meal.

Fernet-Branca

LCBO 220145, 500 mL, $23.75 Earthy, bold and intensely bitter, Fernet-Branca is definitely not for everyone. It has its loyal fans, though— to the point where some bars in the United States even have it on tap.

Poli Vaca Mora Amaro

LCBO 662726, 700 mL, $41.60 One of the best straight-sipping amaros we’ve tried, this Northern Italian expression is exceptionally dry and has a fresh and minty flavour profile.

Amaro Amara d’Arancia Rossa

LCBO 10752, $45.95

Made with Sicilian blood oranges, this light and aromatic spirit is brilliant over ice. Alternatively, give an old cocktail new life by swapping it in for orange liqueur.
