History:

Adapted from a recipe created by Ryan Magarian at Oven & Shaker, Portland, Oregon. Apparently, Ryan named this cocktail due to his being inspired by the Sicilian countryside.

This was a bit timid for us. We substituted lime for the lemon juice (or maybe split it 50:50) and two dashes of grapefruit bitters for the one of orange bitters. Better to our taste.
