密歇根新闻广播 "grand night" 如何做

Combining the best of an after dinner coffee and an after dinner amaro, Tammy Coxen of Tammy's Tastings came up with the perfect night cap thanks to a collaboration¹ between a Grand Rapids distiller and a Grand Rapids coffee roaster.

Tammy has been playing around with a new product from Long Road Distillers named Amaro Pazzo in a collaboration with Madcap Coffee.

There are a lot of different distillers in the state making coffee liqueurs. There's ample opportunity everywhere, Tammy noted², adding that she loves the sense of collaboration.

But, what I really love about Amaro Pazzo is that it took coffee liqueur to a whole new level by incorporating these amaro elements, she said.

Amaro is a category of liqueur. Historically, amari come from Italy. It seems as though every little town has its own amaro. Most of them are intended as an after dinner drink, a digestivo.

They are often quite bitter, usually somewhat sweet, Tammy explained. They include lots of botanicals and tons of interesting flavors.

Tammy was surprised that Amaro Pazzo's coffee taste is not the first thing you note when taking a sip³.

There's some orange peel in here so you get a little citrus up front. Then the gentian and wormwood that they're using as bittering elements really come through. The coffee is actually on the finish, she said.

She's been experimenting to see how the new amaro might be used in a cocktail⁴. Sticking with the after dinner theme, she decided⁵ to concoct⁶ a night cap and calls it A Grand Night in honor of that Grand Rapids collaboration.
