DESCRIPTION
Averna is a Sicilian amaro made since 1868, from a recipe that the family has kept secret and passed down through the generations. It is a classic Italian after-dinner drink.
The recipe blends herbs, roots and citrus rind. The result is dark and glossy, with a soft, rich texture. You taste citrus, Mediterranean herbs and licorice, with a gentle bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check. Bittersweet and round, a friendly place to start if you are new to amaro.
Averna's own serve: pour it over three ice cubes, twist a strip of orange peel over the glass to release the oils, and sip slowly. It is also good neat at room temperature in a small glass after dinner. In cocktails, it works in a Black Manhattan in place of sweet vermouth, or topped with soda or tonic and an orange slice for a long drink. Serve it after a big Italian meal, or with dark chocolate, biscotti or a cannoli.

Although we got off to a rough start with incomplete tracking info, the bottles eventually arrived in perfect shape and the Averna is outstanding! I’ll definitely be ordering more. Thank you!
Perfect for my Black Manhattans
After any large meal, I turn to what I think of as Sicilian Alka Selter. It always soothes my stomach and it is delicious. Love it
Averna is a sweet and mildly bitter amaro, with a predominant flavor of caramel and a tiny hint of anise. It is somewhat underwhelming on its own, but makes a nice addition to a bourbon Manhattan.
