History

A subtle gin backbone complements fresh blood orange, with bittersweet herbal notes and vermouth complexity.

Jeffrey Morgenthaler created this recipe in 2008 at Bel Ami Lounge in Oregon, USA. Tibor Szentirmai, a member of the Discerning Drinkers group, suggested the optional addition of a barspoon (5ml) of amaretto.
