Ahhhh amaro. Is there a better way to finish off a meal than with a little herbal digestif? If you are reading this one, at least one of two things is true: 1. You like coffee, and\/or 2. You may have a large holiday meal in your future. If either of these are correct, then have I ever got good news for you. Madcap Coffee<\/a> have teamed up with fellow Grand Rapidians Long Road Distillers<\/a> to create Amaro Pazzo, a coffee-based Italian-inspired Michigan-born liqueur.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been a busy month for Madcap in the way of news. Hot on the heels of the big announcement that the coffee company will be opening their first Detroit cafe inside the Shinola Hotel<\/a> (though technically they did first mention that they were moving somewhere<\/em> in Detroit back in October), now they dropping some booze news. According to the press release, Long Road and Madcap devoted a chunk of the yearlong process in bringing Amaro Pazzo to tasting coffees in order to find the best fit. Ultimately, they opted for the wash processed Reko<\/a> from the eponymous washing station in the Kochere region of Ethiopia. With notes of citrus, lemongrass, and ginger, the Reko is said to help create a balance of sweetness and bitterness in the liqueur.<\/p>\n \u201cFew put as much time and dedication into their craft as Madcap,\u201d said Jon O\u2019Connor, co-owner and co-founder of Long Road Distillers. \u201cAmaro Pazzo is an ode to our shared commitment to take the time to do things right, and to craft the exceptional. We can\u2019t wait to introduce people to what we\u2019ve been able to create together.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Clocking in at a very drinkable 57 proof, Amaro Pazzo adds to the flavors in the Reko with myrrh, turkey rhubarb, two types of orange, wormwood, \u201cand a blend of other ingredients.\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019re pretty big fans of amaro here at Sprudge, be it mixed with hot coffee<\/a>, cold brew<\/a>, or with coffee as an ingredient during distillation<\/a>. Unfortunately for us, Amarzo Pazzo is only in distribution inside Michigan at the current moment, though the companies are looking to cast a wider net in early 2019. I guess this bottle of Caff\u00e9 Amaro<\/a> from J. Rieger & Co.<\/a> and Thou Mayest<\/a> will just have to keep me warm until Amarzo Pazzo moseys its way on down to Texas.<\/p>\n Zac Cadwalader<\/a>\u00a0is the news editor at Sprudge Media Network and a staff writer based in Dallas.\u00a0Read more Zac Cadwalader\u00a0on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Top image via Madcap<\/em><\/p>\n The post Madcap Teams Up With Long Road Distilling For A Coffee Amaro<\/a> appeared first on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Coffee News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ahhhh amaro.
