History

A cleansing, delicately minty, bittersweet and complex after-dinner digestivo.

Andrea Gualdi created the original recipe at Maybe Sammy in Sydney, Australia. Gualdi's recipe calls for Tempus Fugit crème de menthe, and he infuses the Amaro Montenegro with spices, which adds complexity to the drink. This adaptation follows Gualdi's original concept.
