On Sunday, 16th March, Bar Miette hosted an afternoon with the amaro experts from Loborn. Founder and head distiller Tom Drewett guided guests through the Tamborine Mountain distillery's craft — modern amaro that honours Italy's rich history and craftsmanship while infusing a distinctly Queensland flavour.
Once herbal elixirs brewed by medieval monks and later embraced by the avant-garde bars of Milan, these bitter-sweet spirits took on an Australian twist with Loborn's bold, contemporary amaro.
Throughout the afternoon, attendees enjoyed tastings at the bar and an amaro-driven cocktail list, accompanied by a menu featuring pizza fritta with smoked scamorza and chicory, capocollo with grilled fennel and fried bread, and raw kingfish Siciliana.
The event was a celebration of tradition and innovation, leaving guests with a deeper appreciation for the art of amaro.
