Private Notes
Comments
This a classic Italian aperitivo, hence the name is a bit of a misnomer. You won’t find it in recipe books since it is ubiquitous at any small Italian bar. Any bitter will do (I had Braulio on hand for a fuller, more bitter note), and in a pinch, this works without vermouth as well.
