little italy cocktail class
If you know my work at all, you probably know that I adore amaro, Campari, and anything else that’s bittersweet and Italian. Join me for a class that will help you understand how to use these products in your own cocktails. We’ll make something kind of Spritzy, a Negroni riff that can veer far from the archetype (if you want), and a bright little Sour.
I’m also offering a special add-on for this class: a lesson on how to make Caffè Corretto at home; and this version doesn’t even require espresso, just cold brew concentrate and the other supplies we’re using in class. This option is available through the booking process — look for a little “add-on” box to check!

THE NEGRONI CAN BE SUCH A VERSATILE DRINK, IF YOU SO WISH. HERE WE HAVE EQUAL PARTS LAIRD’S BONDED APPLE BRANDY, ITALIAN VERMOUTH, AND RAMAZZOTTI, AN AMARO FROM MILAN.
A SOUR TEMPLATE THAT WORKS WITH ANY AMARO OR BITTER APERITIVO. THIS ONE’S GOT UNAGED RUM, SELECT BITTER, LEMON AND A LITTLE SIMPLE SYRUP.
LOOKS CAN DECEIVE! THIS MAY READ AS A VODKA SODA, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY A TAKE ON AN AMERICANO HIGHBALL, WHICH IS TRADITIONALLY BUILT FROM CAMPARI AND ITALIAN VERMOUTH AND TOPPED WITH SODA. HERE, WE MADE A KIND OF AMERICANO BIANCO, WITH DRY VERMOUTH AND LUXARDO BITTER BIANCO (A CLEAR CAMPARI COUSIN) ALL TOPPED WITH TONIC.
NOTHING IS BETTER THAN ESPRESSO AFTER DINNER, EXCEPT ESPRESSO WITH AMARO, BRANDY OR GRAPPA, ALSO KNOWN AS A CAFFÈ CORRETTO. FOR OUR LITTLE ITALY CLASS, WE’RE OFFERING A 20-MINUTE ADD ON THAT BRINGS THE CORRETTO OUT OF THE PIAZZA AND INTO YOUR OWN HOME! YOU DON’T EVEN NEED AN ESPRESSO MACHINE. THIS ONE IS BUILT FROM COLD BREW CONCENTRATE, COGNAC, AMARO NONINO, AND A TOUCH OF SIMPLE SYRUP. WE’RE ALSO BORROWING FROM ESPRESSO ROMANO, A SWEETENED ESPRESSO WITH A SPRITZ OF OILS FROM A LEMON PEEL.
