Tips

It's only 5 ml of allspice liqueur, and it should stay that way; any more and the spice drowns out the rum and amaro.

History

The Amaro Daiquiri is a modern twist on the Daiquiri that replaces the sugar with the bittersweet, herbal depth of an Italian-style amaro, giving the drink a digestif-leaning character. Bars such as Billy Sunday in Chicago have served amaro-based versions under this name.
