AMARO is a bittersweet Italian liqueur, which is strongly flavored with botanicals.
The word AMARO means “bitter” in Italian. It is typically made by macerating a mix of herbs, spices, barks, roots and flowers in either a neutral spirit, or a wine. As such, the range of flavors offered by different amari is vast. Some are very sweet, made with citrus peels or honey. Others are medicinal, made with alpine herbs.
AMARO has appeared five times in the New York Times Crossword, most recently in the Thursday, Jan. 21 puzzle by Daniel Mauer.
