One of the World’s 50 Best Bars is pouring a 500 year-old Italian classic – can you guess which one?

Disaronno, the soul of the Amaretto Sour, turns 500 – and it’s bringing a birthday surprise to Sydney’s Maybe Sammy

There aren’t many booze brands that can say they’ve been in the game for half a millennium. It’s been decades that bartenders have been reaching for the instantly recognisable square bottle, and from this November, you can celebrate with an Amaretto tipple at Maybe Sammy. 

What better place to celebrate such an occasion than an old Hollywood glamour (-style) cocktail bar (Italiano-style) in The Rocks that took out a spot on The World's 50 Best Bars for 2025? Maybe Sammy will be dishing up limited-time Disaronno masterpieces. If you find yourself in the CBD, other Maybe Group venues like Dean and Nancy, Maybe Frank, El Primo Sanchez are celebrating with special cocktails too. 

If you’re enjoying what you’re drinking and don’t want the night to end, you can take the action home. Disaronno has released five limited edition bottles for the 500th anniversary that encompass its star qualities. Think the same distinguished shape and recipe, but with different collector’s editions for dolcevita, passione, bellezza, stile and eleganza – perfect for secret Santa gifts. 

Pick your favourite Disaronno 500YR bottle or collect them all. Find out more about the limited edition bottles here, and book yourself a seat at Maybe Sammy here.
