Amargo Chuncho

Amargo Chuncho bitters, also known simply as Chuncho Bitters, is a Peruvian bitters product traditionally used to prepare a pisco sour cocktail. It is produced in Lima, Peru, from 30 various peels, herbs, roots, barks, and flowers from the Peruvian forest – including Quina and Sarrapia leaves, and aged for six months in barrels, allowing the flavors to meld and develop, contributing to the distinctive taste of the cocktails they are used in.


It is noted for its complex flavor profile, which includes cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg, and has a floral base with hints of cherry and cola. The rich and varied flavors of Amargo Chuncho bitters complement the sharpness of the lime and the sweetness of the syrup in a pisco sour.
