History:
Adapted from a recipe created in May 2021 by Daniele Umoette as a parting gift to us. What inspired him, "The other day I was listening to Blondie's "Maria" and it is indeed one of my favourite songs and that did the trick. The song talks about this multifaceted woman called Maria, so I tried to reinterpret her qualities through my personal imagination."
Review:
Best described as a mezcal-based Godfather with amaro and crème de banana adding depth of flavour.
