Method

Preparation of Herbal Mixture

  1. 1

    Combine Herbs

    In a small bowl, mix the gentian root, cinchona bark, sweet orange peel, bitter orange peel, cardamom seeds, and cloves together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Infuse Alcohol

    Place the herbal mixture into a glass jar and pour in the neutral grain spirit and aged grape distillate. Seal the jar tightly and shake gently. Let it sit for at least 14 days in a cool, dark place, shaking it gently every few days.

Making the Syrup

  1. 3

    Prepare Sugar Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat gently while stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved. Allow to cool completely.

Combining Flavors

  1. 4

    Combine Infused Spirit and Syrup

    After 14 days, strain the infused spirit through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the herbs. In a large mixing bowl, combine the strained liquid with the prepared sugar syrup.

  2. 5

    Add Flavor Enhancers

    Split the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the mixture. Add the cacao nibs and stir well to combine all ingredients.

Bottling

  1. 6

    Bottle the Amaro

    Using a funnel, pour the mixture into clean, sterilized bottles. Seal tightly and label each bottle with the date of preparation.

  2. 7

    Age the Amaro

    Store the bottled amaro in a cool, dark place for at least another 2-4 weeks to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
