Excellent amaro, similar in flavor to Campari with a little more orange / fruit flavor and with the bitter note coming in later, but with an equally nice kick at the end.

It’s surprisingly good. I made a Negroni with it and it had the perfect amount of bitter bite. A steal for $11.99.

Notes of orange and herbs, a perfect balance between sweetness and traditional bitter. Compares favorably to Campari or Aperol, in fact in find it preferable. Try it with gin and a splash of soda over ice with a twist of lemon or orange peel.

Stop spreading the news, let it be a secret or this will disappear fast from Trader Joe’s

Unbelievable! was leery of trying this since it’s about a third of the price of Campari but was pleasantly surprised. Makes a great Negroni. Nice tang of bitterness and orange flavor.

Since spending a month in southern Italy and Sicily and learning about this family of herbal liquors, we just love, love, love amaros. They are the perfect before or after dinner drink and don’t leave us feeling like we are neither gorged nor heavily sedated before bedtime. They are great for a full night’s sleep (with pleasant dreams) instead of indigestion. Pronto! is now officially added to our library of amaros. A teensy bit thinner on the tongue—but still delicious—on it’s own over ice, we have found Pronto to be a money-saver when mixed 50/50 (1 ounce shots) with some of the more expensive premium brands: Nonino, Averna, Cynar, Foro, etc, over ice. Some of those can seem a little too rich, strong, vegetal, medicinal or thick, but the blending with Pronto! perfectly balances them out. Plus, you are cutting a $40 bottle with an $11 bottle, effectively ending up with two premium-tasting $25 bottles. Great deal.
