A very decent although convoluted riff on a Naked and Famous. Kind of curious why it didn't retain the lime, though.

hello mariusz ,simply because in Italy we have excellent lemons. I always prefer fresh local ingredients. Limes are imported from Brazil or Mexico.

A worthwhile application of more than the usual number of ingredients to get a lovely cocktail for a summer afternoon. I substituted St. George Spirits Bruto Amaricano for the Cocchi Americano and it’s a cocktail we’ll worth mashing the Add To Favorites button.
