What should I do with my bottle of herbal amaro? I don't think that anyone in the household really wants to drink it straight.

Nothing that involves buying an additional bottle of alcohol, please.

Well then it would help to know what you have bud.

It's a drink from a small local brewery.

Takes a swig of it after dinner for digestion. It will be gone eventually. Maybe you could mix it with soda water for a weird low sugar soda.

Use it as a topping for vanilla ice cream.

Neck the bottle and see what happens.

Herbal amaro... If it tastes similar to Fernet branca, which is also in the picture you posted, you could try mixing it with coke to mitigate the bitterness a bit and add a richer, tastier flavor. That's what we do with fernet branca in Córdoba, it's extremely popular here.
You can try it with normal, unsweetened, regular soda like a sangria kind of, or you can mix it with citric juices for a better tasting non-alcoholic drink.

I'm actually drinking it with Coke right now.

Doesn't taste bad.

Oh hey, nice! What does it taste like? Be careful since apparently it's used for digestion, you might want to shit sometime after.

It's herbal alcoholic Coke.
>>
>>21985628
try mixing it with Sprite, Mountain Dew or ginger ale.

Just be sad and drink it straight.

I think Anon was asking what other bottles of alcohol you have, so you can avoid buying additional.
For example, I would suggest stirring
15ml simple syrup
30ml espresso
45ml gin/whisky
30ml amaro
over ice, then straining into a chilled glass with a fresh ice cube and flaming an orange peel on top

Just don't make the mistake of drinking Fernet straight - it tastes like you sucked dirty water off a hot car tire.
>>
>>21986797
Fernet is easy to drink straight and not disgusting at all. It's even sweet.

I'm Cordobese and it's the most popular alcoholic drink here, mixed with coca cola, and straight fernet with no coke or anything to mitigate it tastes like cough syrup lmao
That shit smells strong, bitter, leafy and has a bit of effervescence, the best way to prepare it in a glass is 25-30% fernet and 75-70% coke

Can you tell me more about this amaro? I would drink ~20mL after dinner, but that's me.

>>21985697
Good choice.
>>
>>21987035
based and fernet pilled. shit makes your tummy feel great. also gives you some cred with the bartender when you order it (most bartenders drink it)
>>

>tastes like cough syrup lmao
You never had dry ass Boonekamp. Alcoholics in Germany still love it. Probably because it has some flavour that masks the alcohol but no sugar.

I love cynar so much it's unreal

>>21987035
It's absolutely miserable shit and undrinkable unless it's mixed with something. I'd sooner shoot Malort again.
>>
>>21987278
That shit is surprisingly good. Do you actually get any notes of artichoke in it? I can't pick it out from the other flavors they mix in.

Get fucked, OP.

Equal parts of Jamaican rum, dry curacao, amaro, and lime juice. Shaken over ice and strained into a cocktail glass. It's fucking delicious even for people who don't like amaro.

Why were all the hipster bartenders forcing Fernet down my throat in the early 2010s?
>>
>>21988332
Kickbacks from the distributor, probably.

Soda water and dash of rose water. Maybe citrus peel
