Amaro Montenegro Liqueur is one of Italy’s most iconic and enduring amaros, first created in Bologna in 1885 by Stanislao Cobianchi. Named in honor of Princess Elena of Montenegro, this herbal liqueur has earned worldwide acclaim for its exceptional balance of sweetness, bitterness, and complexity. Crafted from a secret recipe of 40 botanicals—including herbs, roots, spices, and citrus peels—it represents the artistry of Italian liqueur-making and has become a staple both as a digestivo and as a versatile cocktail ingredient.

The production process combines tradition with precision. Ingredients are macerated and distilled individually to preserve their unique character before being blended together, with a final infusion known as the Premio—a micro-distillate that adds depth and harmony. The result is a liqueur that is smooth and layered, with herbal freshness, floral elegance, warm spice, and a gentle bittersweet finish. Presented in its distinctive curved green bottle, Amaro Montenegro is instantly recognizable and has remained a symbol of Italian hospitality for over a century.

For enthusiasts and bartenders alike, Amaro Montenegro is more than just an after-dinner drink—it is a cultural icon. Equally enjoyable neat, over ice, or as the base of modern cocktails like the Monte & Tonic, it continues to define the amaro category with its approachable elegance and timeless appeal.
