Averna
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Averna isn’t super bitter, and it won’t overshadow the Benedictine - it’s a pretty mild amaro that’s happy to take a backseat to other ingredients.
- I’d add in a classic amaro like Montenegro or Averna
- ½ oz amaro Averna
- Funny I was just considering making this to kill a bottle of Averna tonight.
- Averna and Montenegro would be my first two recommendations. Both very approachable and versatile.
Cons
- I personally find Averna less exciting than some of the others.
- Averna is way off.

An Amaro: Averna or Cynar or any other.
Averna is way off.
for almost any spec that calls for Coke (or any cola) I usually do a 2:1 Seltzer/Averna blend.
I haven’t gotten around to buying Cynar yet but have made this several times with Averna, which works great.
