Amarguinha is a traditional brand of Portuguese bitter almond liqueur from the Algarve region, in Portugal.[1] The ingredients include water, sugar, alcohol, flavoring and caramel coloring. Currently, Amarguinha is produced by Destilatum, and distributed by Casa Redondo.
With the slogan A amêndoa de Portugal, "The Portuguese almond," it is available in two flavours: original & lemon, the latter having been released during the summer of 2012.[2] The original flavour has a pale yellow colour,[3] while the lemon version is a brighter yellow, similar to the almond drupes themselves. Both are rated at 20% ABV, and are sold in 700 ml bottles.[4]
Usage
[edit]Amarguinha may be consumed as an aperitif, digestif or used to prepare cocktails.[5] It is normally drunk cold or on ice; sometimes with drops of lemon juice or a lemon slice.[1]
