History

Adapted from a recipe created in February 2025 by Davide Segat at the excellent Side Hustle in Covent Garden, London, England. (David specifies Cynar, Nonino Il Moscato Grappa Monovitigno, Muyu Chinotto liqueur and Martini Ambrato.)

Resentìn means "to rinse" in the Venetian dialect and refers to the Venetian tradition of pouring a splash of grappa into a coffee cup after the espresso it contained has been drunk, swirling to collect the crema from the espresso with the grappa, and then drinking the coffee-infused grappa.

Review

This grappa-laced cocktail has layers of coffee-led herbal complexity.

Bottega fumé, Quaglia chinotto, vermouth del professore — and Dr Jaglas‘ Artischocken Elixir. Coffee, salt. One of the best cocktails I‘ve ever tasted.

30 ml grappa marolo di barolo 20 years (much better in coctails, than solo), 15 ml quaglia chinotto, 20 ml cynar, 15 ml barbadillo ataman vermut, 10 ml filter coffee, pinch of salt, orange zest. This is very, very good coctail.
