History:

Adapted from a drink created in 2017 by Sam Robertson & Alexander Taylor at Pennyroyal, Cardiff, Wales. They told us, "Apicius is an ancient cookbook which dates back to the 5th century, it provides an insight into the origins of Italian cuisine. Chestnuts, known to aid digestion, were hugely prominent, combined with amaro this cocktail is the perfect after-dinner sipper."
