Montenegro
A classic Italian liqueur made with a wide (though secret) selection of herbs and spices, Amaro Montenegro is bittersweet and makes for a fantastic after-dinner tipple. Originally created in 1885, it was named after the second Queen of Italy, Elena of Montenegro.
Io amo il chinotto e mi sembra un chinotto alcolico ….
Think of a bitter herby, slightly smoky amaretto. I had this on the rocks and it was fab but I am loving the sound of it and orange juice.
Have tried a number of Amaros but keep returning to Montenegro which has an excellent alcohol balance, unlike a lot of others which are stronger alcoholically.
Classic Italian bitter, I prefer these straight and in a shot glass. Really dry finish and complex flavours.
This is a special Amaro, spicey rather than bitter. Excels in the Adriatique 30ml Amaro Montenegro 15ml Aperol 30ml Orange Juice Shake with ice & fine strain. Fits a Nick & Nora but also double the volumes for a longer drink, only wine strength.
