1 ozamaro (Trino uses Maxico Mistico Licor del Sobador)
1 barspoonspiced brown nectar
1dash orange bitters
1dash Angostura bitters
2 dropssaline solution

Preparation

1.
Add all of the ingredients to a mixing glass with ice and stir for approximately 10 seconds. Strain over a large ice cube into the glass. Garnish. Spiced Brown NectarIn a saucepan, lightly toast 1 Mexican cinnamon stick, 4 pieces of whole allspice, 3 whole cloves, add 16 oz. of water, steep for about 10 min, extracting all of the flavor; essentially making a tea. Remove the spices and add 1 cup of piloncillo and 1 cup of dark brown sugar. On high heat, dissolve the sugar and bring to a boil. Strain nectar and cool it down before use. This will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. NoteThe recommendation of the Maxico Mistico Licor del Sobador Amaro is based on the fact that it’s lighter and more citrus/ginger root-forward in flavor than most amari. However, feel free to use another amaro, such as Montenegro, Averna, or Amaro Nardini.
