It’s Autumn and the Temperatures Are Dropping! It’s Time for an AVERNA Cocktail!
Here in So. California, we finally got hit with AUTUMN.. which is unusual. We have cold mornings (cold meaning California cold) and warmer afternoons.
The weather is entirely different than what we Californians had to deal with this summer. Averna makes a great cocktail because it fits that transitory
weather condition that is typical of autumn. Here’s a collection of some cocktails you could mix up for the next few weeks!
Averna is an authentic Italian amaro originally from Sicily, created according to a closely-guarded secret recipe originating n the Capuchin abbey of
Caltanissetta, Sicily. Since 1868, Amaro Averna has represented true Sicilian craft with a story rooted in heritage and tradition. Today, Averna can
be enjoyed in the traditional Italian way – served neat or over ice – as an after-dinner digestivo; or by showcasing its herbaceous
bittersweet flavor profile in a variety of cocktails.
Here are a few of some great fall favorites, including a new cocktail Midnight to Midnight which was created at the recent Seattle Restaurant Week.
