Amaro Amarischia Herbal Liqueur

It is the product that bears the brand’s name: Amaro Amarischia, a herbal liqueur inspired by an old recipe from Ischia. Its character lies in the balance between sweetness and bitterness, with a dark colour and an intense aroma. Available in a 5 cl plastic miniature and a 70 cl glass bottle, it suits a small tasting, a selection of Italian amari or a relaxed after-dinner gathering.

Product characteristics

The classic of the Amarischia range

The producer describes this amaro as an infusion of selected herbs in alcohol. It is the starting point for discovering the brand before exploring more specific flavours, such as piperna or rocket. Its connection with Ischia comes from the history of the recipe. Amarischia is based in Caivano, near Naples, and continues the liqueur-making tradition of Campania.

Sweetness and bitterness in the same glass

The flavour profile described by the producer combines sweetness with the bitter notes of herbs. Start with a small taste without additions to appreciate its character. If you prefer a more diluted drink, add an ice cube and let it melt gradually. The producer recommends serving it cold: choose a small glass and pour the amount you want, whichever bottle size you have chosen.

After coffee or in a simple drink

The most natural occasion is after a meal, including after an espresso. The amaro can also be used in a simple drink with ice and soda water: a serving suggestion for those who want to try it beyond a neat pour. Start with a little soda and adjust to taste, avoiding syrups or other liqueurs that might mask the herbal character.

Serving and pairing suggestions

• After a meal: serve chilled in a small glass.
• After espresso: serve separately to keep the two aromas distinct.
• With ice and soda water: adjust the proportions to your taste.
• As a gift: choose the 70 cl bottle or include the 5 cl miniature in a selection of other amari from the range.

Two sizes: 5 cl and 70 cl

The 5 cl plastic miniature is a practical choice for discovering the product, creating a tasting selection or preparing a small gift. The 70 cl glass bottle suits those who want to keep the amaro for several occasions or offer it to guests after dinner. The bottle’s contents do not represent a single serving: pour the amount you want and close the bottle again. For gifts or wedding favours, any ribbons and gift packaging should be added separately, keeping the label information clearly visible.

Storage

Keep tightly closed, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Chill only as much as needed for serving. After opening, follow the instructions on the packaging; no verified information is available to specify an exact shelf life.
