ABOUT
This modern classic was created by Audrey Saunders in 2006 for Pegu Club (New York; now closed). As the name suggests, this is an excellent introduction to the Italian bittersweet aperitivo. I’ve made this for so many folks and they all enjoy it. It is low(er) in ABV and will take your palate on a delightful ride. Cheers y’all!
