ABOUT
This underrated cocktail was created in 2009 by Stephen Cole. It started as an experiment: a Manhattan riff that shouldn’t have worked but somehow it does. Herbal, rich, and bittersweet with just enough acid to keep it balanced. If you love amaro-heavy cocktails, this one’s a must-try. Cheers y’all!
