we don’t need the Amaretto
your mouth
hint of smoke
yet sweet as the water
of mountain rivers
Your Hands Discover Me, 2010
Claudia Coutu Radmore
Commentary: CCR has succinctly and effectively described the taste of Amaretto in terms that would leave no reader unsure, even if they had never imbibed of it, of its unique taste.
-- excerpted from "To the Lighthouse: Sensing Tanka: Perceiving Life Beyond the Ordinary" by David Terelinck
Editor's Note: "Amaretto is a sweet Italian liqueur (Ls 4&5) with an almond flavor. It's often used in cocktails. Amaretto cocktails with a hint of smoke (L 3) can be made with smoked wood chips, mezcal, or a smoked cinnamon stick. The smoky flavor complements the almond nuttiness of amaretto."
