1
Prepare the Spices
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the coriander seeds until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large glass jar, combine the toasted coriander seeds, dried marjoram, whole cloves, and neutral spirit. Stir gently to mix.
3
Add Peels
Add the orange peel and lemon peel to the jar. Ensure they are fully submerged in the spirit.

4
Infuse the Mixture
Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place. Let it infuse for 2 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to help the flavors meld.
5
Strain the Mixture
After 2 weeks, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding solids.

6
Sweeten the Amaro
Add the simple syrup to the strained liquid, adjusting sweetness to taste. Mix well to combine.
7
Bottle and Store
Pour the final Amaro Montenegro into a clean bottle, seal tightly, and store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
