Mondino Amaro Liqueur

I tried this as an alternative to Campari for making negronis. It is significantly more expensive but a little underwhelming (sweeter, a little more orangey, but overall less flavour, less body, less botanical).

This was a pleasant surprise!

With Campari as a standard for comparison, this is slightly less bitter, but still pleasantly so, and the fruit element is less candied orange and more cherry, dark berry, etc. I'd say it's approximately as sweet as Campari but with a lighter body, so it reads as more fruity-sweet and less sticky-sweet. I would place it in the middle of a continuum between Campari on an intensely bittersweet end, and Bonanto on a quaffable, fresh-fruit end.

I think it's superior to Campari in an aperitif/spritz, but works less well as a Campari substitute in a negroni b/c the distinctive fruit flavours that make this so nice might be lost under a standard sweet vermouth.
