With the cold weather upon us, now’s the time to learn about Italy’s popular spirit, amaro, known for its medicinal properties that soothe the belly and bitter flavors that mix perfectly with cocktails.
On Oct. 9, America’s foremost amaro expert and Slow Food USA will take us on a journey of the classic spirit. The session is free.
Over the years, amaro has exploded in popularity, becoming a fascinating beverage of choice for mixologists and restaurateurs across the US.
America’s bard of bitters, Brad Thomas Parsons, will be hosting the virtual happy hour, “All About Amaro,” on his digestivo of choice. The award-winning author wrote a book dedicated to the popular medicinal drink, “Amaro: The Spirited World of Bittersweet, Herbal Liqueurs.”
The event is part of a new at-home series created by Slow Food USA, a sustainable food organization founded in Italy, and Ten Speed Press, an independent publisher of award-winning cookbooks
Register in advance. The event begins at 3 pm PST.
