Review:
Relatively low in alcohol, this bittersweet aperitivo has attractive almond notes. The sambuca adds well-integrated depth of flavour, rather than being a standout ingredient.
History:
Adapted from a recipe created in Spring 2026 by Damiano Coren, Director of Cocktail Programming at Sant Ambroeus restaurant group, this signature cocktail is the best seller at their locations in Milan, Paris, New York, Miami and others. Created to celebrate Sant Ambroeus' 90th anniversary, this cocktail pays tribute to the group's first restaurant which opened in Milan in 1936.
