Amaro Lucano, a bittersweet Italian liqueur made up of over 30 different herbs, has stood the test of time—its anniversary edition bottle, used here, marks 120 years of history. Still family-owned and produced in the same province of Southern Italy where it originated, this liqueur is distinctive, aromatic and complex. In the Lucano Sour, the herbal flavors are highlighted by the citrus juice and raspberry flavoring.
