My wife thinks it should be named “Through the desert”. The reasoning, “she said it’s really juicy and if you’re going through the desert...you should take a drink with no name”

This is the video that introduced me to amari. I watch it often! Thank you Cara!
Thank you so much for doing this! I’ve been using Amari to change the taste of drinks forever (Negroni 50/50 Campari and Averna or Nonino), and been delighted to hear from the master herself they have a name (sometimes) and it’s not an unspeakable practice as I thought. 🙏🏻
Great drinks! I cant wait to try them all. I submit "Got a Right to Be Cocchi" for the as-yet-unnamed cocktail. I love your videos, Cara. Keep on with 'em!
The "Caranino". And thanks for the great episode. I picked up a bottle of Amaro Lucano, and have been wanting to mix it. Cheers!
Love the Devine Intervention but also throwing “Forever More” in the ring. Great channel!
For the original cocktail name ideas, I like: ▪ "The Devine" suggestion, as well as others based on that ("Devine Intervetion / Deliverance / Right"); ▪ "The Cara", as well as the "Caramaro / Caramari" suggestions; ▪ something related to the "Down Under" name, or related to "Scottish Girl / Scot in Melbourne / Down Under Scot"... something of sorts; ▪ finally, the "A Drink with No Name" suggestion is very appealing... reminds me of the "A Horse with No Name" song (you know, chilling, relaxing, talking about the desert), and the name itself is interesting, kind of mysterious, and even a bit classy of sorts... just imagine: "Give me a Drink with No Name, plaese". Btw, I love you and your channel. ♥
“ *La Presidenta* “ is all i could think of
Great video - I like seeing the options you have with amari. For the drink name, the Devine Wind :-)
"now that I run the bar" good on ya!
Oh wow... I'm having your No Name drink right now, and it is so good! Luckily I had some Cocchi Americano on hand. I had to go pretty extravagant with some Four Square 2007 rum, because I didn't have anything else appropriate. But well worth it! Fee Bros Walnut and Aztec Chocolate bitters. "Now You Know" also gets my vote.
Artichoke hold 🤣 that’s a great name. Naming drinks is the hardest part for me. But I have to say it sounds really incredible. 👏👏
This drink needs to be named either the "Treat Yourself", or "I Run the Bar Now"

Now You Know-nino 💡 Love all these cocktails!

Fantastic. I do admit I like the name "The drink with no name" Could shorten it to "The Nameless" I will have to make one soon.
I don't know what you call it but the drink is gorgeous... I'd suggest "One Hand Tied" behind the bar, as it seems like an easy drink, but it's very complex in flavors.
Thanks Cara, this is one of the most mouthwatering episodes yet. 😋 The magic you have shown with sherry and amari is a never-ending delight. Although it makes me feel I'm never catching up.😓😏 SO ... NAMES. How about: THE BITTER BEND THE BOSS'S TEST THE COCCHI COCKTAIL Happy judging!😊

The "Now you know" idea is very good; however, you're searching for a name. So, how about, "Now You Know the Name"?
Wow. I just made The Drink With No... I mean the Cariño, and I don't want to sound too dramatic about it but in my book that's about as close to a perfect cocktail as they come. Absolutely amazing. :)

Hi Cara, great video as always! What is the brand of the cocktail glass that you pour white negroni in?
I suggest "Cara's Divine." Wonderful video!!
My favourite averna cocktail is a take on the "Intercontinental". The original recipe calls for 1/1 brandy and averna, and a dash of maraschino liquor. I did 2/0.8 brandy and averna and no maraschino liquor (not completely filling the smaller side of the jigger gives the brandy a bit more space, for me this really makes a difference). Basically a "black brandy manhattan". It's a really delicious cocktail, rich and elegant - best enjoyed with some soft quiet jazz in the background and dimmed light. (btw my first try was with Ramazotti, that's ok too but averna is much better...)
The Artichoke Hold sounds really amazing! Gonna have to get some Cynar. I recently made a Black Manhattan with Meletti Amaro, after attending an online class from Meletti. It was really delicious! I'll try it with Averna too once I have a bottle of that. It's looking like 2021 is going to be all about building out my amaro selection :)

Black Manhattans w/ high rye bourbons (think Wild Turkey 101 or Knob Creek) are awesome!! I've knocked back more than a couple of them.
Got two name suggestions. 1) "Trial shift" because then you'll never run out of barbacks. 2) "What are bitters?" because three of the ingredients contain bettering agents, and you can say "now you know" as you serve the drink.
God damnit I love this channel.
Great drinks, Love the Glasses!!! Really like the rum drink,hmmm. The drink name? The Amari Devine
Enjoyed seeing you use Diplomatico Reserva as that is currently my rum of choice.

I'm throwing my hat into the ring for "So now you know"
Amaro Devine!
Forevermore… like you said.
I’d like Devinely mine. Bartender mixes the cocktail and then serves it saying: “Devinely Yours.”
The Forevermore cocktail ❤
"Cocktail to be named later ". BOOM!!!!
I think you should call it "The Drink with No Name". Sounds fun and mysterious. It'll get people to order.

How easily can the Nonino sub in for the Averno or Montenegro? That rum sour looks delicious...

I find Nonino and Montenegro fairly interchangeable. Nonino is much more delicate than Averna but still has the lovely warm citrus notes so works in a lot of the same drinks too.
Can be called "Bitter sweet".

It’s from the local hospitality supplier (Chef’s Hat) 😊
I think "drink with no name" is suitably epic and doesn't actually need to be changed. However, seeing as its star ingredient is the Nonino and in keeping with the Spaghetti Western theme, how about "bevanda senza nome"?
The Divine Cara (if it’s not already been suggested)
How about the "Bittersweet Decorum"?!
Alright, hear me out: New TV series starring Cara. She owns a bar. Regulars include a woodworker, an uber driver, a fisherman/woman, an unemployed TV news presenter that got fired for screaming obscenities thinking they weren't on air. They all love Cara, but 50% of the time they can't understand through the accent, so they answer questions incorrectly. When she kicks someone out of the bar, they say something like "you kick people out for that?", she responds: "Aye. So, now you know." Woody Harrelson owns the neighboring Marijuana dispensary and makes regular appearances. Cocktail name idea: Que Sera Cara

Nice and informative video I will try the white negroni. I love cooking and baking but I should have worked with cocktails because you taste the result instantly......The "now you know" name, as others said sound very you.
