About the Little Italy

Audrey Saunders created this Manhattan variation for Pegu Club in New York, with the artichoke amaro Cynar taking the place of bitters.

  • No Rye Whiskey? Use Bourbon (Softer and sweeter than rye's spice)
  • No Rye Whiskey? Use Jim Beam Bourbon (A bourbon: softer and sweeter than rye)
  • No Sweet Vermouth? Use Punt e Mes (Noticeably more bitter)
  • No Cynar? Use Amaro Nonino (Lighter and more orangey)
