History

Ferrari Shot is a minimalist, bitter-sweet Italian-style shooter, frequently combining equal parts of bitter amaro and mint or herbal liqueur. Despite the small size, it carries a lot of flavor: herbal, menthol, and orange-peel notes that feel more like an amaro digestif than a party candy shot. Served cold, it’s brisk, aromatic, and surprisingly grown-up. Its name suggests speed and impact—a quick, racing burst of Italian bitterness.
