I am looking for a store that has a decent selection of European amaro, specifically some from Italy. I tried a few on a trip a couple years ago and would like to see what's available in the states. Anyone have some insight into where I may find some?

Dunno where you are at but if you make it to New Orleans try Martins Wine Cellar.

Where are you located? If in the New Orleans area, call or stop by Nor-Joe Imports in Old Metairie at Metairie Rd and the railroad tracks.

Not sure on stores but most decent cocktail bars will have a couple amaros

How do you like to have it? Straight?

I've concocted a couple cocktails over the years that were pretty good but it's just a little too bitter for my taste on the rocks.

Thanks for the recs. I should have mentioned I live in Prairieville. I figured I would have to go to New Orleans to find something, so that's no issue. I would travel further in the future if there was somewhere further too.

There were a few we took shots of, but most were either in some form of an americano or negroni style cocktail.

I recall nor joes doesnt sell booze anymore. Keife and co has an excellent selection of amaros and other offbeat stuff.

Kiefe in New Orleans. Easily best selection in Louisiana.

I made it down to Keife and Co. this weekend. Man, that place is incredible! The smell brings me back to Florence and Rome with all the cured meat and cheeses. I ended up with a bottle of Amaro Montenegro, a bottle of Gran Classico, and a small bottle of Carpano Antica. I was looking for Meletti as well, but John informed me the supplier ran out and is still trying to restock. Any recommendations for what I should buy in the future?
