Flavor Enhancers

Method

Preparation of Infusion

  1. 1

    Infuse the Spirits

    In a large glass jar, combine the neutral grain spirit and all the herbs and botanicals except for the sugar. Seal the jar tightly and let it infuse in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sugar Syrup

    After 2 weeks, prepare a sugar syrup by heating water and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Allow it to cool completely.

Final Assembly

  1. 3

    Combine Infusions

    Once the sugar syrup has cooled and the infusion is complete, strain the infused spirit through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean mixing bowl, discarding the solids.

  2. 4

    Add Sugar Syrup

    Add the cooled sugar syrup to the strained infusion and mix well until thoroughly combined.

  3. 5

    Color and Flavor Adjustment

    Stir in the vanilla extract and caramel color to achieve the desired flavor profile and color.

  4. 6

    Bottling

    Pour the finished Amaro Montenegro into sterilized bottles and seal tightly. Let it rest for at least a week before consuming to allow the flavors to meld.
