When asked what my favourite fruit is, there is only ever two responses that will leave my mouth. Cherry or peach. I massively indulged my peach fetish in America with peach margaritas and as much peach lip balm as I could get my hands on. Cherries, I can indulge here without much fuss. I always have a bag of frozen sweet pitted cherries in my freezer as they are so handy. I can grab a handful for my morning porridge, or top it with a quick crunchy crumble that is ready in no time. I love my drinks to have a strong cherry flavour too and the Stambecco Maraschino Amaro is such a lovely way to get that cherry fix in a unique way.
Stambecco is an amaro made in Italy, by infusing cherries and 30 different botanicals including orange, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and oregano, to create a bitter sweet liqueur that is so unique and unlike anything I have tried before.
Housed in the prettiest dimpled bottle with a luxurious stopper, it is a beautiful gift option for the drink lover as I can guarantee they won’t have tasted anything like this before.
Simply served over ice, the light dilution amps up the marzipan flavour of the Amaro with a bitter herb note and that intense cherry flavour.
Adding in the Starlino maraschino cherries really escalates the unique cherry flavour and I added a splash of Stambecco Maraschino Cherry Amaro to a glass of prosecco, garnished with the Starlino maraschino cherries. It’s absolutely delicious and a combination I can heartily recommend.
