History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2020 by Craig Eliason, a Professor of Art History at the University of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and a keen cocktail aficionado. Craig created this cocktail for the Society of Architectural Historians' 80th Anniversary Celebration. Fittingly, Craig used Amaro Lucano Anniversario edition.

Rye whiskey underwrites this delicious digestivo/late-night sipper with waves of delicately bittersweet herbal flavours.

A new favorite. I've used Ramazzotti and china china in lieu of the Lucano. Prefer the Ramazzotti but think there's room to play around.

Used Averna as the Amaro substitute. Delicious.

Inoffensive but unremarkable.
