Method & Muse Amari
Amari (the plural of amaro) are in a category of spirits that display bitter sweet botanical characteristics. The term Amaro describes a wide range of typically Italian bitter sweet liqueurs. These liqueurs range from simple to complex, dry to sweet, aperitif to digestif. With growing popularity in the US, we use the general term to refer to any bitter sweet herbal liqueur. At Method & Muse we celebrate global flavors and recognize that nearly every culture has mixed alcoholic spirits, herbs and spices, and sugar, to make its own delicious version of botanical liqueur. Our amari highlight regional flavors to create experiences driven by a sense of place. We make no claims that these spirits originated in their regions, but instead imagine and craft the spirits that honor regional flavors and botanicals. Enjoy on the rocks or mixed with other spirits for a delicious and memorable cocktail experience. Cheers!
Regionally Inspired Amari
Caribbean Amaro – 45% ABV
$30/375ml
A bronze medal award winner at the 2025 Tokyo International Whisky and Spirits Competition, our Caribbean Amaro is an ode to rum, Jamaican Jerk Spices, and the heat that reminds you that you’re alive. This delicious amaro starts with a base of our Blended Aged Rum and adds warming spices, bright citrus, and a habanero kick. Excellent as a digestif or mixed with aged base spirits for a spicy, and spice filled, take on a classic Manhattan. This plays extremely well with Mezcal and is a great float in Mezcalritas.

A gold medal winner at the 2025 Tokyo International Whisky and Spirits Competition, our Akajiso (red shiso) ginger amaro celebrates the palate cleaning flavors you find in Japanese cuisine.
