Amaro is an Italian herbal liqueur, typically dark amber to brown. It drinks bittersweet and complex with citrus peel, roots, and warm spice, often finishing with caramel-like richness. Bartenders stir it into cocktails or pour it neat or over ice, and cooks use it to macerate fruit or enrich desserts; sold as bottled liqueur in varied styles and strengths.
It developed in Italy from 19th-century apothecary and monastic bitter tonics and spread across Europe and the Americas; today it anchors Italian digestivo culture and appears widely in modern cocktails.
