History:

Recipe created by Brian Kane while Beverage Director at Abe Fisher Restaurant in Philadelphia, USA. This recipe adapted from Brad Thomas Parsons' 2016 book Amaro which includes the following explanation by Brain, "The name pays homage to the history of passing down recipes for amari production from one generation to the next."

Review:

Bittersweet and spiritous with herbal and subtle chocolate notes. Beware, "boozy" is an understatement, so perhaps split this recipe between two small stemmed glasses rather than one coupe and share the experience with a friend.
