Amargo Obrero is a historic Argentine amaro currently produced and distributed under the umbrella of Grupo Cepas. Created in 1887 in the city of Rosario, in the province of Santa Fe, it quickly earned the status of “the people’s drink” thanks to its affordable price, lower alcohol content, and unique flavor.

With 19% ABV, Amargo Obrero stands out for its harmonious balance of pronounced herbal bitterness and subtle notes of caramel, citrus, and aromatic spices. Its recipe is based on an infusion of carefully selected herbs and roots, preserved and passed down through generations, giving the drink its distinctive dark amber hue and complex aromatic profile. Traditionally enjoyed chilled, often with soda or cola, it has also become a popular ingredient in modern cocktails. Today, with the modern quality control standards applied by Grupo Cepas, Amargo Obrero retains its authentic identity, symbolizing the continuity of Argentina’s liqueur-making tradition and remaining a cultural icon that bridges the gap between historic heritage and contemporary drinking enjoyment.
