Select Aperitivo Liqueur

"Discovered" this in Venice and so happy (but shouldn't be surprised) that B&B stocks it stateside. A wonderful amaro that's, as others have noted, somewhere between Aperol and Campari, i.e, a great balance between sweet and bitter.

If you are traveling/on vacation and can only bring ONE red bitter for all your negroni/spritz/spaghett needs, this is it.

Always great. Not bitter. Not sweet.

Delicious, so Venice, just simply add champagne to it and voilà perfect spritz.

Not too bitter, not too sweet - a great drink to enjoy before a meal to whet the appetite. Enjoy in a classic spritz, or just with soda water and orange twist.

Less aggressive than Campari, also slightly less sweet. Works well in a Negroni or boulevardier as a sub, and allows you to get creative with adding bitters that would otherwise be overpowered.

Oh the memories of Venice. What a spritz this makes... only in Venice will you find such an iconic drink garnished with a green olive and an orange slice. The Pandemic has me missing times like these and this product brings me right back to that moment. Beautiful flavor and iconic, it's well worth owning.

We've found this to be right in the middle of Campari and Aperol - maybe a bit closer to Campari. It's great in a spritz or just with a splash of soda water.

My husband and I discovered Select on a recent trip to Venice, and it’s my new favorite. You could manage to “make” Select by making half Aperol and half Campari in a spritz, and that’s what one restaurant did for me! But it’s probably better to buy it and save the other two for when you want them. It’s really the best amaro for summer.
