Inspired by an Italian drink made with amaro-soaked coffee beans.
“Spirit guide” Nandini Khaund found inspiration for this recipe in Amaro Meletti’s Art Nouveau café, where the popular “anisetta con la mosca” drink features coffee beans soaked in amaro. The combo of amaro and cold-brew make this autumnal riff on the classic Jungle Bird unforgettable.
