  1. Thirsty? Try These Italian Aperitifs, Digestifs, and Liquors Amaretto: From the Italian word amaro, or “bitter” this Italian liqueur has bitter almond as a base. Sweeteners are often added. Amaro: This italian herbal liqueur is used in mixed drinks and as an after-dinner digestif. It’s bittersweet flavor comes from macerating herbs and spices (like mint, sage, thyme, or ginger), roots, citrus, and flowers in alcohol. Popular brands include Fernet Branca, Cynar, and Amaro Averna. Aperol: Sweet-bitter and orange in color. Made from orange, gentian, rhubarb and cinchona. It has a low alcohol content (11%) and is used in Italian aperitifs. Campari: Used in many cocktails, Campari is an Italian aperitif with a very recognizable red color with an alcohol content of 20-28%. It’s made from a secret blend of herbs, aromatic plants, and fruit infused in alcohol and water. It’s dominant flavor is a bitter orange and is most often used to make an Americano (Campari, vermouth, club soda), a Negroni (Campari, sweet vermouth, gin), and Campari and soda. Frangelico: A sweet hazelnut liqueur. Grappa: A clear spirit made from the pomac of the grapes after the juice has been pressed for wine making. It has flavors and aromas of the grape varietal that has been distilled. At its best, grapp is smooth and aromatic, leaving flavors of grape on the palate. Grappa is often enjoyed as a digestif with a cup of espresso; sometimes a bit of the grappa is added to the espresso to make a “caffe correcto.” Limoncello: One of the most widely recognized post-dinner treats, Limoncello is a lemon liqueur made mostly in southern Italy. It’s made by soaking lemon zest in alcohol until the oils are released from the rinds. It is them mixed with simple syrup to create a delightfully refreshing treat for a warm summer day. Sambuca: Usually served after dinner with a few coffee beans, Sambuca is a colorless, anise flavored Italian liqueur. It’s made from star anise, anise, licorice, elderflower and other syrups, with sweet syrup, in alcohol. Strega: Made from about 70 herbal ingredients, this Italian herbal liqueur is often used as a digestif. Vermouth: A fortified wine mostly served in cocktails used as aperitifs. There are two types of vermouth: sweet and dry. Both include aromatics bark, flowers, seeds, herbs, and spices. Wanna check out some more; https://mortadellahead.com/blog/ check out the Blog:
