andrei: Now I like this one more over the big book amaro
United States on May 27, 2023
Amazon Customer: I don't think you'll need another book on amaro but you certainly need this one. Amazing photography and concise elegant descriptions make this an entertaining and informative read. I went from basically ignorant on amaro to confident ordering just what I want at the bar or knowing what to grab at the liquor store.

tired tom: for centuries many cities and towns produced their own concoctions based on wine or distilled spirits steeped in as many as 30-40 local ingredients... roots, leaves, veggies, fruits, and anything else growing around... I have tasted over 20 Amaros and found them to be lively additions to mixed drinks.. especially rye whiskeys... plus a few drops of bitters... great book...great introduction to these wonderful bottled delights!

Christopher Barrett: More informative than I expected. I have really gotten into Amaro and this is a great text to accompany my Amaro journey! The one drawback is that nearly half of this book is a list of recipes. Many of these can be found online. There are also lists of various amaro themed bars in various US cities. This book also looks at the production of, styles of, and producers of Amaro and similar liqueurs in other countries - though heavily focused on Italian Amaro. Highly recommended!
Oh and if you're not into Amaro... just try an Averna on the rocks - club soda optional - as an after dinner drink. It will change your life! Well... maybe just encourage the consumption of Amaro after meals anyway...

Nelson Gomes: Excelente livro pra que se interessa por coquetelaria e bebidas.
O autor expõe com muita propriedade o rico universo dos bitters e dos aperitivos. Repleto de ótimas pequenas histórias e curiosidades. Sem contar com grande quantidade de receitas e as excelentes fotografias.
Recomendadíssimo!!!

J. C. B.: I got interested in the world of Italian amari, primarily to make variations of Negronis and other craft cocktails. This is a wonderful book.
Mr. Parsons gives you a lot of information about various amari and gives you recipes for cocktails and foods using amari. It also is filled with beautiful photos. I've found some of the amari described in the book: Campari, Aperol and Fernet Branca, which are available most anywhere; and more scarce ones such as Meletti, Montenegro and Cynar. The book has inspired me to search out in liquor stores the harder to find ones. Many are available only in Italy, which makes me want to visit Italy again. Salud!
