Bitter LiqueursMuch like amaro, bitter liqueurs are made from the maceration or distillation (or combination) of herbs, spices, roots, flowers, or other botanicals. Bitter liqueurs are often red or orange in color, although they needn’t be. Sugar is added before bottling. ABV varies widely.

Tasting Notes
"Mashed dark cherries and a slight herbal aromatic zip turns bitter and spine-tingling in the mouth, a big-shouldered throw-down that crosses categories among amaro, aperitivo and tonic. Cherried richness combined with a bitter herbs, bark and root punch also promises good things as post-meal stimulator, and bartenders will find plenty of usefulness as a modifier."
