Namari Amaro
Namari is a handcrafted non-alcoholic digestif inspired by amaro and made in small batches in California. Chicory, gentian, wormwood, rosemary, sage, fresh orange, cinnamon, and clove come together in a rich, dark spirit with plenty of warm spice and herbal depth.
Namari is definitely on the sweeter side, with a distinctly cozy, autumnal feel. Think orange, baking spice, dark herbs, and a touch of roasted bitterness underneath. If fall had an after-dinner drink, this would be a pretty convincing candidate.
Why We Love It
Namari has a flavor all its own. The sweetness makes it lush and approachable, while chicory, bitter roots, herbs, and spice give it enough complexity to keep things interesting. We especially love it when the weather turns cool and you want something darker, richer, and a little more comforting in your glass.
How to Drink Namari
For an easy serve, pour Namari over ice and top with sparkling water, then finish with a generous orange twist. It's also delicious with tonic, coffee, or simply poured over a large cube after dinner.
Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve — Namari & Cola: 2 oz Namari, 3 oz good-quality cola, ½ oz fresh orange juice, and 2 dashes All The Bitter Aromatic Bitters. Build over plenty of ice, give it a gentle stir, and garnish with a big orange peel.
