stumbled on your videos last week, absolutely love them
Thank you. That just made my day. I’ll keep on working on getting better and better. Cheers!

I love still finding a rare creator on TH-cam these days where their knowledge, presence, and production value are 100% big money and you just feel lucky to be there for a short while before the inevitable blow up around the corner. Way to go and rock on!!
Wow and thank you! You made my day!
Not Italian, but grew up in an Italian town (the local deli/liquor store was named Tenuta’s):
If it’s in the family, but it’s brown, it’s an amaro.
If it’s red, but a straight sip DOES NOT make most people cuss, it’s an aperitivo.
If it’s red and makes SOME people cuss, it’s a bitter.
Tada!
Perfect recap! Thanks for sharing
This was lot of great info that I didn't know about. Thanks
Appreciate your words! Glad you enjoyed it.
Very informative and helpful! Also a clarification to my question from your other video ;)
Figured it would help :)
AWESOME!!! This is one of the best videos I've seen that describes Amaro, bitters and aperitifs. I love campari and cynar. THANKS!!!!
That makes my day. Happy you like it! Cheers to you Tim
Nicely done - have been trying to learn more about amari and similar drinks; this was super-helpful.
Thank you! Amari and herbal drinks are my passion. Please make sure to watch Amaro-specific, Fernet, and Vermouth videos as they are all closely related.
Very informative, thanks for posting. Averna one of my favorites.
Thanks for watching! I love Averna too!
Really enjoyed your video! Very educational -thx!
Thanks Richard!!!! Cheers
Made a nice cocktail with the Cynar this evening- Really great line up - appreciate you effort and your opinions
Thank you and really happy you enjoyed it!
This guy makes a great presentation. Cool!
Thanks Again ❤️
That was amazing! You definitely know your stuff. I’ve had Campari and Aperol in my house for a cocktail ingredient but I never knew all of the differences between them all.
Learned a lot because of this, thank you!
I’m currently sipping on some Hennessy XO while being educated by your video.
Cheers!
So happy it was of help! Salute!
Bravo!!!
Pure love
This video popped up in my recommendation, guess I'm going have a Negroni tonight ahah. Good explanation, I learned something today
Awesome! Thank you for the comment. I hope you enjoyed your Negroni!
Cynar is my favourite! I simply love it! I preatty much like all the other, but not Braulio.
Thanks Lele. Cynar is amazing in a Negroni.
@@MasterYourGlass I love with tonic as well!
First time watching. Inlaws are Italian and started learning about a couple of these, but was confused by all the options. Pls do more reviews on some lesser known brands that you enjoy or other liquers
Will do. And thank you for commenting. Stay tuned for your video request
Very informative thank you!
Glad you enjoyed! Cheers
Thank you. I don't know if your accounting is the right one, but you have at least given me an entry point to try new things.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day
Amari fanatic, Montenegro is my winner - Cybar is also excellent...Averna is almost cola like. Select is so so so underrated (makes excellent spritz and negroni). Nice video
Thank you Christos. I am glad you liked it! Livio
Since watching your videos, I've tried Amaro CioCiaro, Amaro Nonnino, Montenegro, and Amaro Meletti, all of which I quite like and would fall into the "pastry category" that you describe. Fernet Branca was... gahd that was bitter!!
I love that observation! Did you have a favorite?
Muito muito muito bom vídeo!!! Todas as explicações de que necessitamos pois na hora de comprar um amaro , a dúvida é cruel. Com tantos produtos oferecidos fica difícil saber o que comprar ou o de qual mais vamos gostar .
gracias. Estoy feliz de que hayas disfrutado.
Thank you - really nice
Happy you enjoyed it!
Funny. I did live in Livorno for a couple of years and never took notice of the Galliano. Of course, I wasn't much into mixed whiskey drinks then as much as I am now. I've recently learned to love Averna in my Black Manhattans and I also have some Cynar sitting in my bar. I also like it neat with a dessert. And to me... the Campari is just nasty. I could never drink that straight. I assume that the Aperol is similar because it looks the same, but I've never tried it to be honest.
Incidentally, if you don't like the Fernet Branca, look for the Branca Mente. It's quite an improvement.
Hi Daniel. Thanks for the comments. I love your assessment here.
Everything on point. Even as a Campari lover I don’t like it neat but it’s magic when mixed. Cheers!
Preach my guy!
Thank you!
Awesome video! I wish some of these would take out the fake colors. No one needs that! You should have way more views and subs. Great channel. Salute!
Your kind words are much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
I am a huge fan of Herbal Liqueurs, and have gotten my Dad into them. My Girlfriend had an upset stomach last week, and said my Campari Spritz helped settle it.
Great. I have a great episode coming out in 2 weeks you will love for the Campari and Seltz.
@@MasterYourGlass Can't wait!
Nice Vespa on the wall!
Grazie!
Good knowledge
Thanks Roger!
Now ur talkin!! Thats what i want, a list of what liquors taste like, all of them!! Just like spices, what does cumin taste like, i have never had any!! Not yet!! As long as these things have been around, someone by now should have a list of flavors!! Maybe they would sell better my way?? U would know what ur getting urself into before u buy it, or now that u know, u want to buy it?? 😊
Nice vid!
Thanks!

Thank you 🙏
Stega is an Italian herb and spice liqueur thats very pleasant
Yes! It’s delicious! Thanks for watching!
I can’t get enough of Amari and other herbal liqueurs. I’ve got Campari, Aperol, and I just picked up Cynar. I got a bottle of Suze earlier this year too. What category does that fall into since it is French instead of Italian?
Suze is a French Aperitif! So delicious!
I used to love Campari, in 2007 it didn't taste right, stopped buying it ,found in 2018 that they had changed one of the ingredients to artificial.
Tastebuds knew.
Show close ups of the label and hold it there so i can learn what bottle has what flavor profile??
Thanks!!
Thanks
It would be fun to do a similar video with all the interesting USA based craft producers making American analogues of these.
Good call there. I have the assumption that tracking down the American versions of these is going to more difficult than finding the Italian ones but I will see what I can do. Thank you for watching and commenting
@@MasterYourGlass You'd be surprised. Some I've been really enjoying and see a lot around some of the larger chain retailers are Leopold Bros Aperitivo, Fernet Francisco, and Bruto Americano.
@@joeedwards4281 Cool. Definitely familiar with those. I would need at Least 6 to make a solid comparison. Will look around. Best
I use Averna a good bit. But I read different answers on how long it lasts once opened. How long do you sense a bottle will last once opened and does it HAVE to be in the fridge?
Averna in my opinion lasts at least one year. It is higher in alcohol (which as you know is a preservative) and also has a lot of sugar in it which is also a preservative. Vermouths are a different story because they contain wine. But don’t worry about your Amaro going bad. Cheers to you!
Within the three groups, if any one of the labels were not available, is it likely one of the others would be a suitable substitute? Or any of them?
Kind of. If you give me an example I can respond more specifically. Love this question ❤️
I really like Boulevardier. Do you think I could sub the Campari for some of these? I like the Cynar and Averna.
100%. Your Boulevardier in that case would be a bit sweeter and with a bit more body..
@@MasterYourGlass I like more body, but not as much the sweetness. You got any other suggestions?
@@AlajBag You are in the area of Cynar 70 or perhaps Zucca Rhabarbaro. Order those neat at the bar if you can and see if any of those are on track. If not you might need to consider mixing 2/3 Cynar with 1/3 Fernet and adjusting the sweetness level accordingly.
@@MasterYourGlass I've got the regular Cynar and Zucca at home, but can't get a hold of Cynar 70. But I guess I could try regular Cynar 2/3 combined with Fernet 1/3 as you suggested?
@@AlajBag Bingo! Great way to go about it. Let me know how it goes
Can the CC writers spell those italian words out correctly,so i can learn those words or names??
Sorry my friend. Close captioning is done automatically and I’m sure they’ve misspelled everything. On a upcoming comment I will list them all out for you.
How many of these are used in cooking?? And which ones??
All of them can be used in cooking, and there are no set recipes that call for any specific one of them. So unfortunately, in the ever vague world of Amaro, the answer to your question is all can be used for cooking. Usually the application would be in a desert, that is soaked in alcohol such as tiramisu.
Which Amaro favors Rhubarb, did you say?
Zucca Raberbaro
What about "Strega"??
It’s delicious! Minty and slight Vanilla flavor. I’ll do a video on it!
and then there is fernet branca which is its own category of awesome :D
Indeed. Chamomile and minty dry! Cheers!
Do people actually drink these straight or is it always mixed?
It is more common to drink them straight, then mixed. Cheers!
@@MasterYourGlassWow! I never would have guessed! Going to have to try them.
But why is it so red???!!!!
I can only give you an opinionated answer because I really don’t know why they make them so red. They use food coloring and I can speculate that they make them so that any cocktail mixed with that ingredient still retains the bright red color. Thanks for watching!
Why Neapolitan music when every single product is from northern Italy. It's like playing Country or Hillbilly Music for NYC Drinks
Great question! I appreciate you asking. This 3 minute video here explains why. It’s in honor of my dad. th-cam.com/video/CfLB-8ui5NE/w-d-xo.html
Amaro in Italian is bitter
Esatto ❤️
What the hell did you do to your poor Vespa? How you going to take your nonna to the market?
This Vespa had been rear ended and I purchased it to use the parts for repairing another Vespa PK I had. I then restored what was salvageable and I hung it in my living room as my pride and joy. I restore Vespa’s and have some vintage ones going back to the 1950’s (aka Vespa “Struzzo”). But this version on my wall is my pride and joy because it’s the actual model I used to get around when I grew up. Do you own vespas too?
Wait, you're ACTUALLY explaining that the year on the bitters bottle is not the year of production? Geez, I must have dropped 45 IQ points when I clicked on this video....are we now going to learn which end of bottle to drink from? I just thought that was an interesting item to have to explain to us....
What I actually said is that the year on the bottle is not actually the year that product was invented but the year the company was founded. Basically if Brand X Limoncello was invented in 1885 and they come out with an Amaro in 2006 they still keep the year 1885 on the label which can be misleading. Hope this gives you your IQ back.
