Wowee! Love it!
No Centerbe in my booze cart, so took inspiration from Dee S. and substituted 2.5 ml Norseman Olympia (green chartreuse knock-off) and 2.5 ml Malört.

Sfumato is my favorite amaro, so I am rather biased. I have never had any cocktail that features it that I didn't swoon over 🩷

Made with Zucca 1845, St. George Bruto Americano, and Élixir Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse. An absolutely outstanding combination of herbal and bitter flavors. This is the kind of drink one has to be in the mood for, it's not exactly easy-drinking, but wow is it ever delicious.

What is this?! I don't have the Centerba so I subbed 2.25ml Green Chartreuse and 2.25ml Besk Wormwood Liqueur. Intensely bitter, and with using Sfumato, this had an almost chipotle smoke to it without the spice. Fantastic!

Please check the name: according to my experience this is the recipe for “Zucca lavorato secco”, one of the classic cocktail from Camparino, Milan.

They are similar cocktails but not the same. Lavorato Secco may have inspired this shorter Negroni-style serve. I've added a link to my recipe for Lavorato Secco above.

Might want to double-check that description there. My husband was choking (on his drink) pointing and it still took me several times to see the typo.

Whoops! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Now corrected.
