First met this in a restaurant in Florence (Auditore). At the end of the meal the young chap offered limoncello. I looked at him and said "what would your grandad have served for the digestivo" and he came back with a glass of Montenegro. Its a good in all kinds of drinks one might take at the end of the evening - not beating you over the head with dramatic bitter flavours.

For me, aggressively forward on the rose water aromas. Pairs well with tequila, mezcal, gin, cachaça, charanda. Use in cocktails that lean into floral flavours. Use in a Mexican Boulevardier: 2 parts reposado or añejo mezcal, 1 part ambrato vermouth, 1 part Montenegro, 2 dash mole bitters, orange twist.

A Christmas present!
First use in. Hunter’s Verdict an excellent spirit forward that should appeal to anyone who likes a Manhattan or Boulevardier.

I've come to love Montenegro (.5 oz) and bourbon (2oz). I call it a Lazy Old Fashioned.

An absolute favorite! Amaro Montenegro's bitter fruitiness is perfect in a manhattan or reverse manhattan - delicious.

GORGEOUS
