About

Who’s ready for a light spring cocktail? Aperitivo-style cocktails are some of my favs and this Lucano + grapefruit combo is amazing! Bittersweet and bubbly, this drink will open up your appetite real quick…for moar drinks.

If you’re relatively new to the world of amaro, Amaro Lucano is a fantastic one to experiment with. It’s mild and welcoming, and pairs well with both dark/spice-rich spirits as well as light herbal spirits and citrus. On its own, it’s got a heavy dose of warm baking spices with a slight menthol kick and some cola vibes. It’s not super thick, super sweet, or super bitter…and just a great balance in between it all.
