Base Ingredients

Herbal Mixture

Flavor Enhancers

Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Combine Base Ingredients

    In a large, clean glass jar, pour the neutral grain spirit and water. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Sugar

    Gradually add sugar to the mixture and stir until fully dissolved.

Infusion of Herbs

  1. 3

    Prepare Herbal Mixture

    In a separate small bowl, combine all the dried herbs and spices. This mixture will add depth and flavor to your amaro.

  2. 4

    Infuse Spirit

    Add the herbal mixture to the jar with the base mixture. Ensure all ingredients are submerged in the liquid. Seal the jar tightly.

  3. 5

    Let Infuse

    Place the jar in a cool, dark place for 2 to 4 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the flavors meld.

Finalizing the Amaro

  1. 6

    Strain Mixture

    After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the solid herbs.

  2. 7

    Add Flavor Enhancers

    Add vanilla extract, crushed coffee beans, and cloves to the strained liquid. Stir well.

  3. 8

    Bottle and Age

    Transfer the amaro to a clean bottle. Seal and let it age for an additional week to allow the flavors to integrate.
