Base Ingredients

Herbs and Spices

Sweetening and Flavoring

Method

Preparation of Herbal Infusion

  1. 1

    Infuse the Herbs

    In a large glass jar, combine all the dried herbs and spices: wormwood, angelica root, juniper berries, orange peel, gentian root, licorice root, cinnamon stick, and cloves.

  2. 2

    Add the Alcohol

    Pour the grain alcohol over the herbs in the jar, ensuring that all herbs are submerged. Seal the jar tightly.

  3. 3

    Steep the Mixture

    Let the mixture steep in a dark, cool place for 2 to 3 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to help release the flavors.

Sweetening the Amaro

  1. 4

    Prepare the Sugar Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.

  2. 5

    Mix in Honey and Vanilla

    Once the sugar syrup has cooled, stir in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined.

Finalizing the Amaro

  1. 6

    Strain the Infusion

    After the steeping period, strain the herbal mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a clean bottle to remove all solids.

  2. 7

    Combine with Sweet Syrup

    Mix the strained herbal infusion with the prepared sweet syrup. Stir well to combine.

  3. 8

    Bottle and Age

    Transfer the final Amaro Mandragola into clean bottles, seal them tightly, and let them age for at least another week before serving for the best flavor.
