It was high time for a new exhibition at the coffee bar Sempre in Stockholm. Some new drinks and a couple of modified classics. It is also a bit of preview of the new book featuring the Klainguti cocktail from Genova and the Black Saffron Martini made by the Milanese bartender Morris Maramaldi specifically for Stanley Tucci’s cooking show Searching for Italy.
These are just some of the Italian bar essentials I picked up on my trip to Liguria in Italy. Amaro Camatti from Genova, Carpano Classico, Cynar (famously made with artichoke), Amaro Ramazzotti from Milano, Rosso Antico, the perfect premade Campari Soda bottles (designed by Fortunato Depero in 1932), Campari, Amaro di Santa Maria al Monte from Liguria, Basanotto Liquore di Liguria (made with sage, basil and chinotto), Liquore di chinotto di Savoy, Fabbri Ciliegie al liquore and finally Aperitivo di gran lusso l’asinello (a Genoese Aperitivo that’s been around since 1886).
