How to make a festive Italian spiced spritz with Amaro Lucano

The seasonal spritzes continue this week with another Wintry Italian cocktail recipe. Last time, I shared my spiced twist on a classic Aperol Spritz, but this time, I’ve got something with a bit more of a herbal flavour to it – a festive, spiced spritz using Italian digestif, Amaro Lucano. Let’s check it out.

What is Amaro Lucano?

Founded in 1894, Amaro Lucano is an Italian herbal liqueur created by family-owned company Amaro Lucano S.p.A. Made of a delicate blend of over 30 herbs, Amaro Lucano is a bitter-sweet digestif. With a warm richness to it, Amaro Lucano is a particularly great liqueur for the Wintertime. The name ‘Lucano’ comes from the word Lucania, which is another name for Basilicata, the area of Italy in which the company was founded.
