Drink up
Our Amalfi Luau, a coastal fennel and tequila cocktail, highlights the bold, aromatic flavor of Finocchietto, an Amalfi Coast liqueur made from hand-harvested wild fennel seeds. Layers of ginger add spice, while pineapple softens the edges and blanco tequila brings a fresh, vegetal backbone. It’s a great pick for Margarita or Mule drinkers looking for something a little different.
Somewhere between a Black Manhattan and a 50/50 Rye Manhattan, our Pine Barrens cocktail takes on a style of its own... bright, herbal, and lightly nutty, finished with a lemon twist. Light and clean enough to start a meal, it also works well as a digestivo thanks to the layered herbs and botanicals of the Amaro Dilei
