Nonino Amaro Quintessentia di Erbe Alpine 35% Vol. 0.5 L is an Italian herbal amaro from the Nonino family in Friuli. Made from a blend of herbs and enriched with Nonino ÙE® grape distillate aged in barriques, it combines herbal bitterness with citrus, spice and a gently sweet character. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Its balanced bittersweet profile makes it particularly useful in cocktails where an amaro needs to bring complexity without overpowering the other ingredients. Nonino describes the profile as herbal and citrus-led, with notes including orange zest, bitter orange, thyme, menthol, pepper and liquorice.
Why We Chose It
Drinkero selected Amaro Nonino Quintessentia primarily for the Paper Plane. The cocktail combines equal parts bourbon, Amaro Nonino, Aperol and fresh lemon juice, creating a bright balance of whiskey, citrus, sweetness and herbal bitterness.
Best Cocktails with Amaro Nonino
- Paper Plane — bourbon, Amaro Nonino, Aperol and fresh lemon juice.
- Amaro Sour — a citrus-forward sour that puts the herbal character of the amaro at the centre.
- Amaro Highball — a simple long drink where the bittersweet character can remain prominent.
Drinkero Recommends
For a Paper Plane, use 30 ml Amaro Nonino with equal parts bourbon, Aperol and fresh lemon juice. Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. This is also the specification published by the International Bartenders Association. Product Details

FAQ
How does the cocktail builder work?
Choose a cocktail, select how many drinks you want to make, and Drinkero calculates the quantities you need. You can then review every ingredient, choose between available products and remove anything you already have.
Can I choose how many cocktails I want to make?
Yes. Choose your guest count and the ingredient quantities are automatically adjusted for you, so you do not need to calculate bottles, mixers or servings yourself.
Can I remove ingredients I already have?
Absolutely. Every component can be reviewed individually. If you already have an ingredient at home, simply leave it out and only order what you need.
Can I choose different brands or upgrade ingredients?
Where alternatives are available, you can choose the bottle or product you prefer. This lets you keep the classic recipe or upgrade individual ingredients to make the cocktail your way.
Are the cocktails delivered pre-mixed?
No. All ingredients are delivered in their original, sealed bottles and packaging — we never rebottle or pre-measure them. Drinkero calculates the quantities you need and selects enough products for your chosen number of cocktails. You mix and serve the drinks fresh at home.
What about fresh ingredients and ice?
Ingredients that are better bought fresh locally, such as fresh mint, limes or ice, are clearly marked in the builder. We still calculate how much you need, so you have a complete shopping and preparation guide.
