If you are all Amaro what-a-what-now, no fear, I am hear to walk you through a bit about this amazing and complex style of spirits. Sooo let’s back up, what is an Amaro exactly?
- 2 cups raw pecans
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
Toast pecans at 400°F for 4-5 minutes. Let cool and then add to a blender and mix into pieces. In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water on moderate heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to boil. Add pecans and simmer until mixture is going to boil remove from heat and cover. Let set in the refrigerator over 8 hours or night. Strain steeped mixture into a bowl, squeezing the cloth as you go. Add orange blossom water and stir. Add to a jar or bottle and keep for two weeks in the refrigerator.
Amari have been around a long time, despite what some may think with it’s well deserved current “trendy” spot in the spirits world. This is just a brief explanation of these bitter beloved spirits. And Amari are just that, bitter spirits (meaning bitter in Italian) often hailing from Italy. Although distilleries outside of Italy are making bittered, herbal spirits left and right to fill the feverish demand for all things bitter.
- 1 3/4 oz dark rum, such as Plantation 5 year rum
- 1 oz amaro Sfumato (or similar amaro)
- 1/2 oz pecan orgeat recipe under
- 1/3 lemon juice
- 4 piece peaches, muddled
- garnish: toasted pecan, 3 peach slices
The Bitter Pecan Peach Dandy is made with a Rabarbaro Amaro known as Sfumato, made with herbs and spices. It is not distilled itself, but the root that was earthy. You know that it’s bitter, in case you have had rhubarb, same goes for it’s root. The name of the spirit is derived from fumo, meaning smoke. It does have a ting to the flavor that goes well with the orgeat. Paired with spicy, complex rum and juicy peach, this Bitter Pecan Peach Dandy is one satisfying sipper!

The explosion of interest in Amaro is partly (entirely? ) due to the Negroni and Negroni variations. Although there are many (and growing) Amari and non-Italian bitter spirits have even recently garnered themselves a designated week on Instagram.
