SPIRITS  LONG WEEKEND DRINKS

AMARO MONTENEGRO VINTAGES 601484, $26.00 The word amaro , in Italian, means “bitter,” and applies to a whole myriad of spirits. Typically drunk after dinner, these digestifs can vary in alcohol content, sugar content and, most of all, flavour. Each pro- ducer creates its product with a secret blend of herbs, spices and aromatics, for a unique and delicious offering. We used one of our favourites here, with its lovely notes of vanilla and orange peel, for a wonderfully layered, complex yet utterly drinkable cooler.
