History:

This recipe was created in January 2026 by Paul King, a fellow Discerning Drinker, after he "Had to substitute the Green Chartreuse with Italicus" while making Dominic Venegas' Gypsy No. 1. We've adopted the recipe with a subtle tweak and named it Gypsy Rosolio, perhaps remembering the name of Gypsy Rose Lee (born Rose Louise Hovick, 1911 -1970), the famed American burlesque entertainer, stripper, actress, author, playwright and vedette.
