We went two nights in a row! Saturday was Bryan Ferry; Sunday was Pink Martini (and Charo!). Memorable weekend. I batched different takes on a negroni for each night. For Bryan Ferry it was a Central AC (a Beau du Bois recipe: 1 oz St. George Botanivore Gin; 1 oz Grapefruit & Mint Infused Campari; 1 oz Sweet Vermouth) and for Pink Martini it was a Taco Truck (another Beau du Bois recipe: 2 oz. mezcal; 1 oz. pineapple and cinnamon–infused Campari; 1 oz. sweet vermouth).

Italicus!

“Rosolio was the first and most important elixir in the development of Italian drinking culture,” says Giuseppe Gallo, Italicus creator and an authority on Italian drinks. “If its production had not been banned [in favour of the newly fashionable vermouth] by King Vittorio Amedeo in the early 1800s, it probably would be more popular than any other aperitivo today.” ... Piecing together the original rosolio recipe was painstaking work; Gallo spent many months trawling the archives of the University of Turin and interviewing superannuated Italians before he pinpointed a formula of roses, lavender, gentian and lemon balm. For his own recipe, he added chamomile, bergamot and fragrant Cedro lemon to the mix ..."

That sounds delicious. Were you able to find that in SoCal? Or did you have to order it from the UK?

I love every single thing about this comment.

A Bali Bali. Nasturtiums from the garden! (What a pain they are to thread onto a pick.)

Really enjoyed this - I've been meaning to make one for a while. It's a bit of a humdinger with 4 shots of 4 different spirits, but works amazingly well.
