Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Infusion

    In a large jar, combine the bitter herbs and citrus peels with the high-proof alcohol. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a dark, cool place for about 2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

  2. 2

    Straining

    After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the solid ingredients. Press down to extract as much liquid as possible.

  3. 3

    Sweetening

    In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved to create a simple syrup. Allow it to cool.

  4. 4

    Mixing

    Combine the strained liquid with the simple syrup. If using, split the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds into the mixture. Stir well.

  5. 5

    Bottling

    Transfer the Amaro to clean glass bottles and seal them. Allow the flavors to meld for another week before using.
