Fall Spritz Amaro And Dry Cider Cocktail Recipes

This simple recipe takes the 3-2-1 spritz formula to heart, relying on just three quality ingredients. Amari styles vary wildly in viscosity and flavor, from intensely bitter to lightly sweet and floral, which means different bottles match different moods. To make sure you're always prepared, stock a few of the bitter liqueurs and start drinking. Current favorites include French China-China (spiced, earthy and orange-based), Sicilian Averna (sweet, citrusy), Californian Lo-Fi Gentian Amaro (juicy, floral) and Brooklyn-based Forthave Spirits Marseille Amaro (herbal, with warm spices). To these, add any hyper-regional bottles you've tucked into a suitcase. All spritz nicely, especially when paired with a lime wheel.

Set out both bottles with glasses and a bucket of ice and let guests do the rest. Just remember the ratio: one part amaro to four parts hard cider.

High-quality hard apple cider-not the overly sweet stuff you might have had-is one of fall's greatest beverages. Cognac only makes it better.
