Sips for Trendy Drinkers
By FBWorld Team
Amaro
Montenegro is an intriguing spirit for cocktail enthusiasts
looking for new flavor experiences. With a taste that
is both bitter and slightly sweet, the blend of 40 herbs
offers a curiously complex flavor with tremendous versatility.
What distinguishes Amaro Montenegro from other Amari and
herbal liqueurs is its balanced bitter-sweet flavor, smooth
texture and milder proof - making it the difference in
the drink without overpowering other ingredients.
