Distillery of Modern Art Amaro Peach: A Southern Twist on an Italian Classic
Amaro, the Italian herbal liqueur, has a rich history of being enjoyed as both a digestif and a key ingredient in craft cocktails. Traditionally made with a blend of herbs, roots, and botanicals macerated in neutral grain spirit, Amaro offers a complex, bittersweet flavor profile that has captivated drinkers for centuries.
Here at Distillery of Modern Art, we have long enjoyed Amari (the plural of Amaro), and saw an opportunity to create a unique, and distinctly Georgia version of this spirit. We wanted to create something that honors the Italian Amaro tradition while incorporating a distinct Southern influence—thus, Amaro Peach was born.
Distillery of Modern Art’s Amaro Peach is an homage to the time-honored traditions of Italian Amaro, but with a Southern twist.
We’ve infused the rich, herbal complexity of classic Amaro with the subtle sweetness and depth of peaches, a flavor that beautifully represents the region where we craft our spirits. This infusion brings a touch of warmth and character that sets our Amaro apart, making it a versatile and delicious addition to any bar.
We like to keep most of our recipe a closely guarded secret, but we can share that we use French Wheat Neutral Grain Spirit as the base, creating a balanced foundation for the carefully selected botanicals and peach essence that provide the flavor of the spirit. The result is a liqueur that is as intriguing as it is delightful.
So, how should you enjoy our Amaro? The beauty of Amaro is in its versatility—there’s no right or wrong way to drink it. Whether you prefer it neat, over a couple of ice cubes (or scoop of ice cream!) alongside an after-dinner coffee, or mixed into a Black Manhattan, the best way to enjoy it is the way you like best. However you choose to drink it, we’re confident it will become a new favorite.
As the craft spirits industry continues to flourish we want to give spirits enthusiasts something new for them to get excited about. Amaro’s popularity is only growing. We believe that as more people discover this herbal liqueur, Distillery of Modern Art’s Amaro Peach will become a go-to choice for both casual drinkers and cocktail aficionados alike.
