Overview

Like Beyonce, Amaro is having a renaissance right now. Ok, so maybe the bitter and herbaceous liqueur isn't quite as showy as Beyonce, but Melbourne is currently pretty damn obsessed with amaros — enough so for a dedicated amaro bar to have opened in Windsor.

And to better showcase this burgeoning Italian liqueur, one of the best restaurants in Melbourne, Navi, is running an Amaro Tasting Flight Experience throughout March.

Pop over to the Yarraville restaurant's lounge anytime from 5:30–11:30pm, Wednesday to Friday, or 2 –11:30pm on Saturdays to try one of the two flights on offer — the three-amaro taster going for $35 or the five-amaro option for $50.

And the amaros on show aren't going to be the usual suspects you're used to sampling. Most of us know of the always-delicious Montenegro, but there's countless variations of amaros made all over the world that have their own unique flavour profile.

Navi's Bar Manager Miriam Wahlhütter has chosen some Aussie options made with native ingredients while adding in some from further abroad. Learn more about amaros here before the drink fully takes flight this year and everyone starts drinking it.
