Summer Cup
Already causing a stir among mixologists, Dimmi Liquore di Milano is a new arrival to the world of Italian spirits. At the Giacomo Sperone company in Milan, brothers Paolo and Antonio Sperone start with a base distillate of organic winter wheat grown in Piedmont. Then they blend in a family concoction of botanicals that includes a heavy dose of wormwood, nuances of liquorice, vanilla, bitter orange, ginseng and rhubarb. Finally, they add a light, floral infusion of peach and apricot blossoms, and balance the blend with a touch of Nebbiolo grappa. Neyah White, a talented barman we met in San Francisco, mixes the spirit with aplomb in his Summer Cup cocktail.
