“How do you drink amaro?”
We get asked this all the time, and while a straight sipper after dinner is the most official way, and on ice with some tonic water and some citrus is our most common preparation, there are so many cocktails where amaro is a perfect modifier or even replacement as the base spirit to balance the flavors.
The Way Out is a great equal parts cocktail of .75oz each of Festif Amaro, Mezcal, Aperol and lime juice.
