Review:

Bittersweet with rye whiskey's assertive spirituous spice, this is an aperitivo for those occasions when the pre-dinner drink needs to be a sharpener.

History:

Adapted from a recipe created circa 2011 by Maxwell Britten at Jack the Horse Tavern in Brooklyn Heights, New York City, USA. The original recipe calls for Luxardo Amaro Abano but (at the time of writing) this amaro is not available in the UK.
