ABI ... always be improving. Uncle Pete is always making cocktails better. Please keep sharing amaro and liqueur combinations you enjoy. I am looking forward to the Amaro Lattes that will be featured on your menu.
Like the idea of the honey for the throat warming. What about using say Drambuie or Irish Mist or Barenjager as your liqueur and honey all in one. Now Amaro Sibilla has large honey notes so that may be perfect without the honey. More experiments!!!
Per your template with Fernet Vallet + Ancho Reyes Ancho Chile liqueur + honey syrup + whole milk. Very good. Also a riff on the Edmonton cocktail with Fernet Vallet + 1/4 oz Scotch (Highland Park 12) + 1/4 oz Drambuie + honey syrup + milk. Also good.
Practically every time I froth milk with my french press (fancy electronic gadgets not necessary to jump on this, folks!) for a cafe latte I keep a little behind to try out a new amaro latte combination, and this improvement will only continue that practice twice as long. Bless you and b0000urns for your evangelism. Also, great timing for my “ok but why didn’t I get Cynar 70” bottle of Cioco to suddenly seem useful at its low proof!
Full disclosure, I am a paid agent of Big Cynar, the lobbying group campaigning to replace all bottles of regular Cynar with liter bottles of Cynar 70 #sponcon
For plain steamed milk it’s easy, though it requires a volume that’ll sit above the lowest point of your filter plunger (so I use a small French press). Basically add a measure of warmed milk (I microwave it in the glass pitcher for 30-60sec), plunge across the surface 5-10 times, then plunge just below the surface level another 10ish times to incorporate and smooth out. You can do fancy tapping, swirling, re-decanting into a pouring/steaming pitcher tricks for more “artful” lattes - Lance Hedrick gets into all that and more on his 6min Latte Milk French Press if a visual guide helps. The amaro adjuncts can be added pre-frothing or post - it’ll make a different product but not necessarily better or worse IMO.
Ooo def need to play around with this, esp since I’m up to like 20 amari now! Other liqueurs in my home bar that might work well include Licor 43, Tuaca & Nux Alpina…
@@UnclePete I've certainly used some strawberry quick. Did you try maple syrup? I have no clue if that hits similar to honey, but maybe. I might give it a shot. I hope this spreads far and wide.

Thank you, I will! You're the best!

Yes! More Experiments! Drambuie is 40% so would have to be the liqueur, but yes, worth a try! I have baerenjager, but I dont love it lol
Somehow I missed the last one but these sound amazing! Need to try the Averna and probably the Campari as well. Cheers!
The last one has tragically few views. PLease try it and spread the word! Cheers!

Oh fun! That first one sounds spicy! Thanks for sharing!
Big fan of the original version. Look forward to trying this.
If you liked V1 yo wil LOVE V2! Cheers Vino!

OOh I don't know this french press technique, can you elaborate?
And I'm so happy you're making Amara Lattez! keep it up!
LOL

So cool! I might have to get hold of a french press and try it!
I hope the drink is a hit with bar customers. It's such an interesting idea.
I'd call it a moderate success! I love it though!

Ohh 43 might be nice, a little vanilla? yes!
I gotta try this! Cynar one would def be my favorite.
It is dope as hell!
My dad used to drink a lesser variant of this back in the 1980ies.
please describe
@@UnclePeteHe said he ordered just plain warm milk with a shot of Amaretto. That was all.
thats a very 80s order lol
How many times can I like this? I've done 2:1 milk with good results, but haven't tried the extras. Definitely will be trying soon.
It all started with you! These really are delicious, and a bit more complex than the original, I think you are going to love it!
@@UnclePete I've certainly used some strawberry quick. Did you try maple syrup? I have no clue if that hits similar to honey, but maybe. I might give it a shot. I hope this spreads far and wide.
We didn't try maple syrup, when we tried honey we jumped for joy and stopped the experiments lol. I'll try it tonight though!
Need to make some honey syrup, get some > 1% milk and try this out!
Do it!!!
Where did you score that sick hat?
Brucato sells them! www.brucatoamaro.com/store
I wonder what a vegan version would be...🤔
You could try barista soy milk, should work ok!
@@UnclePete I know it, and they have an oat milk that might work better... although, replacing honey would be trickier...
Thank you!
Oh oat is what I meant I think? IDK I don't drink that. As far as honey goes, you could try Maple Syrup? might not be as good, but still good
