What is Cardamomma’s?
Cardamomma’s is an amaro, or bitter liqueur, made from alpine botanicals with south asian influence.
The primary ingredient, cardamom of course, is a fragrant spice indigenous to the Indian subcontinent. It has been a culinary staple since people have been making good food, and one of the world’s first documented spices, with references in Sumerian and Ayurvedic texts from the 4th century BCE. It was traded from the Maurya empire to the Greeks, and has documented use in mummification ceremonies in the Kemet civilization. Now, It is primarily used for cooking delicious dishes such as biryani, chai, baked goods such as cardamom buns, and in Cardamomma’s.
Amaro can be enjoyed before or after dinner - neat, on the rocks, in a highball, or as a tonic. We enjoy Cardamomma’s in a tonic, because it allows the flavors and botanicals to bloom against the sharpness of the tonic water.
