Bartender's Tip

Honey syrup, never raw honey: cold shaking seizes honey into strings that never integrate. Make a batch and keep it in the fridge for a month.

A Little History

A house drink from the New York bitters temple Amor y Amargo, where Sother Teague built a menu almost entirely out of amari. The name is a joke about the drink's woodsy, out-in-the-field character — it tastes like autumn in a glass.
