Amaro is a bitter Italian digestif made from a base of grape brandy and infused with herbs, spices, fruits, and roots. You can get an excellent amaro cheap at Trader Joe's.
A bottle of Pronto! can be yours for only $10.99. On average, bottles of amari are priced between $20 and $50, so this is an exceptional deal.
The grocery store chain sources its alcohol from high-quality, anonymous external distillers and producers. Its amaro is produced in Italy, adding to its credibility.
Pronto! has a 24% ABV, and the Trader Joe's website describes it as "bracingly bitter, yet eminently easy-drinking." Reviewers on Reddit think it’s quite good for the price.
Pronto! does lack the complexity found in other brands, but it’s plenty good enough for the price. You can drink it alone or use it in an Amaro spritz or Negroni.
