Little Italy Recipe

Audrey sanders, mixology royalty, created this drink as a homage to the new york citys little italy neighborhood. We first read about it in imbibe magazine, where they recommended garnish with brandied cherries and letting a little of the cherry liquid dribble into the glass a modification we heartily endorse. Not gonna lie the little italy a love-it-or-hate it flavor. If youre a fan of bitter flavors and youre looking for an alternative to yet another negroni, it may just be up your alley. It really is a superb after-dinner drink, where the medicinal overtones can be explained away as part of the history of the digestf as a post-meal tummy-soother. Make sure to have very fresh vermouth on hand for this drink; its bitter enough without the acrid tang of old vermouth.
