Amor y Amargo

Amor y Amargo is America's first bitters-and-amari focused cocktail bar, located in Manhattan's East Village since 2011. Founded by Ravi DeRossi and Sother Teague, the intimate tasting room champions high-proof botanical bitters, Italian amari, and fortified wines through expertly crafted drinks. The back bar functions as a reference library of rare spirits, and Sother Teague—named Wine Enthusiast's Mixologist of the Year in 2017—has helped popularize these categories nationwide. Ranked among North America's best bars, Amor y Amargo sells boutique bitters and barware alongside its signature cocktails, establishing itself as a one-of-a-kind destination for spirit enthusiasts and curious cocktail drinkers alike.
