a bit sweet

Patrick and Andrew lent us two freshly emptied

and other botanicals hand-harvested from the pristine alpine environment of central Italy

with all the complexity of a perfectly ripe pear

and Cosmopolitans where its Cognac base adds sophistication beyond what standard triple sec can provide

Elsewhere Blood Orange Aperitif Russell's Reserve Single Barrel Rye Whiskey a bit sweetThis aperitif starts with New York spirit made from dent corn from the Finger Lakes, from which Matchbook's gin is made. Then, a shocking amount of fresh blood oranges from California are trucked in, cut in half, and then placed in the gin. Left to macerate for weeks, the liquid slowly takes on a delightful ruby tone and unmistakable bittersweet zing. After straining and pressing, the liquid is rested on precious herbs and spices from Rare Tea Cellar.
