For my post-work shift treat two Saturday nights ago, I turned to Brad Parsons' Amaro for an answer. There, I was able to narrow it down to a recipe by Charlie Schott called Root Down that he created at Chicago's Parson's Chicken & Fish. Once mixed, Root Down greeted the senses with birch and peat smoke aromas. Next, a grape and caramel sip gave way to rum, root beer, and mint flavors.
