How is pacharán made?
By steeping sloe berries — endrinas — in anise-flavored spirit for several months, traditionally with a few coffee beans or a cinnamon stick, until the liqueur turns deep garnet red. The craft is centuries old in Navarre, where it remains the customary after-dinner pour, served well chilled and neat.
