Vecchio Amaro Del Capo Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Infuse the Alcohol

   In a large glass jar, combine the neutral grain spirit or vodka with the dried herbs and citrus peels. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

2. 2

   Strain the Mixture

   After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove the herbs and peels. Press gently to extract as much liquid as possible.

3. 3

   Prepare the Syrup

   In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool.

4. 4

   Combine and Bottle

   Once the syrup has cooled, mix it with the strained herbal infusion. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Pour the final mixture into clean bottles and seal tightly.

5. 5

   Aging

   For the best flavor, let the bottled Vecchio Amaro del Capo sit for at least another 2 weeks before consuming, allowing the flavors to meld together.
