As with almost all things Italian, Digestifs have always had a quiet elegance – sipped slowly, savoured at the end of a meal, a little ritual to mark the moment. Lately, they’re stepping out of their traditional role, finding a place at the heart of cocktails that celebrate craft, flavour, and conviviality. The Montenegroni is a perfect example: a softer, herbal twist on the classic Negroni that lets Amaro Montenegro shine alongside gin and Select Aperitivo. Stir over ice, finish with an orange twist, and you’ve got a drink that honours tradition while making digestif culture feel delightfully modern.
