Amari (literally “bitter” in Italian) are liqueurs (sweetened liquors) that have been bittered and flavored with botanicals. As for the base spirit, well, anything is game: neutral corn spirit, cane distillate, Everclear (popular among home-brewers, even wine. Same goes for the botanical blends—most amari have upwards of 30 botanical ingredients, most often kept secret.
Amaro Versus Vermouth
Does all this vagueness sound familiar? Yes—because amaro is similar to vermouth. Both are commonly enjoyed before dinner (aperitif); both are x infused with a whole lot of y. But, according to Daniel de la Nunez and Aaron Fox of Brooklyn-based Forthave Spirits, “Vermouth must have a wine component while that is optional for amaro. If the character and balance are primarily wine, it’s a vermouth, if the wine is not the most dominant ingredient it can be an amaro.”
