I stopped to buy amarretto for a cake I am making for Saturday. Something about the label caught my eye. What can I say - I liked the label and I love root beer.
The label tells a story of a strange "maker" herbalist who created the secret blend for this liqueur. Dude sounds like a creep to me or at least some sort of gypsy wanderer who shouldn't really be hawking anything that reminds me of childhood.
After sniffing and tasting and reading the label's suggestions, we decide a "float" would be the best drink for this liqueur. It is sort of sweet and reminds me of both my favorite adult beverage, the White Russian, and of a good ole fashioned rootbeer float.
The Blackmaker Float
1 part vodka
1 part Blackmaker
1/2 part half and half or heavy cream
2 parts soda water
Combine the vodka, Blackmaker and half and half in a shaker. Pour over ice, add soda water and stir gently to combine.
