White Noise Recipe

The white noise is the jewel in the crown of portland hunt + alpine clubs cocktail menu; proprietors andrew & briana volk have been serving it nonstop since they opened, and its one of their most popular drinks. Its easy to see why its such a crowd-pleaser. Its low abv means you can have one without getting sloshed, and its so light and crisp and eminently sippable that its hard to resist having a second one. The volks recommend cocchi americano bianco, which is slightly more bitter and less sweet than lillet blanc (another white wine apritif); either will be fine. The grapefruit peel is a lovely garnish, but its also a critical ingredient the scent of the oils from the peel, carried on the bubbly fizz of the sparkling water, is what makes the drink so perfect.
