History

Originally topped with lambrusco, prosecco is used here, though champagne or other brut sparkling wine may be preferred. The result is a cognac-laced, bittersweet, herbal, and lightly vivacious aperitivo or digestivo.

This recipe originates from a 2008 creation at Milk & Honey in New York City, USA.
