Le Comte
Keeping the equal parts structure of a classic Negroni, this version reduces the pour per ingredient and adds a fourth spirit. The addition of French brandy provides a counterpoint to the gin, which amplifies its pine notes, which are further bolstered by the rosemary-infused Campari.
Café Mont Blanc
Combining the traditions of espresso con panna ("with cream") and caffé corretto, this after-dinner drink offers both a digestif effect from the French brandy while also acting as a dessert.
Skiing Waiter
This unusual drink is essentially a reverse Martini that swaps dry vermouth for Riesling, and is then poured over a frozen dome (or cube) of citrus-Campari granita. I named it for a well-turned-out waiter who I envision skiing up to perform a tableside service of the drink for your Alpine après-ski.
Americano Alpino
The Americano began as a fizzy version of the elemental Milano-Torino, which mixes Campari (from Milan) with sweet vermouth (from Torino, or Turin). It got its name from the American tourists and expats who took to it with enthusiasm, especially during Prohibition.
Candied Citrus Peel, Riesling-Citrus Syrup, and Granita Molds
This 3-for-1 prep task creates a garnish, a syrup, and the granita that forms the stunning base of the Skiing Waiter, a Club favorite from January 2021.
Rosemary-infused Campari
We used this wintry infused Campari in January 2021. It’s a great way to winterize a spritz, Negroni, or Americano!
