Lucano Amaro Zero
Lucano Non-Alcoholic Amaro is an Italian amaro alternative with the dark, bittersweet character that makes this style so satisfying. Bitter orange and caramel lead, followed by aromatic herbs, cola spice, coffee, and a touch of licorice. The sweetness is balanced by earthy bitterness that builds through the palate and lingers nicely on the finish. It is rich, warming, and distinctly grown-up. The sort of bottle that makes after dinner feel like an occasion. Lucano Non-Alcoholic Amaro contains less than 0.5% ABV.
Why We Love It
Lucano is an easy yes for us because these are not people learning amaro on the fly. They have been making it for more than 130 years, and this tastes like it came from people who understand why amaro is such a pleasure. Pour it over ice with an orange peel and that lovely little after dinner ritual is back. It also has enough depth to make a cocktail feel properly finished. If you have missed having a real amaro moment in your glass, this is the one we would happily send you home with.
How to Drink Lucano Non-Alcoholic Amaro
For the classic serve, pour Lucano over one large cube and finish with an orange peel. Add sparkling water if you prefer something longer and lighter, or use it anywhere you want to bring dark citrus, caramel, and herbal bitterness to a cocktail.
Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve — Lucano Black Manhattan: 1½ oz non-alcoholic bourbon, 1 oz Lucano Non-Alcoholic Amaro, and 2 dashes non-alcoholic aromatic bitters.
