A sipper of a cocktail to chase a meal or for late-night contemplation.
History:
Adapted from a 2020 recipe (originally served straight-up) by Jason E. Clapham, Oxford, England who told us, "The Monteleone, a Vieux Carré riff named after the Sicilian founder of the hotel where the Vieux Carré was born, in New Orleans – I am guessing he was partial to Averna like most Sicilians I have met."
