Instructions

Place a long column of ice in a highball glass. Add to this the Campari and soda water. Add the other ingredients to a shaker, seal and shake without ice. Add ice to the shaker and shake to chill, then strain into the highball glass to float over the Campari and soda mixture. Garnish with twists of lemon and orange peel. Serve with straw.

Notes

This drink is named for Pouring Ribbons' location, one flight of stairs up from a generic liquor store on Avenue B in Manhattan. The cocktail plays with the name through its two layer structure; imbibers can either consume the two parts separately or mix them to taste.

Amari & bitter friends: an update

Prior to The Great Site Update of Christmas 2014, we published a list of amari hidden under a link on the recommended brands page. We have put some time and thought into our bitter friends, and have split the list into our top dozen or so recommendations, plus a list of other amari that are available.

Some amari are easy to find; others ... not so much. There are hundreds of amari that aren't even imported to the US. Look for amari at larger liquor stores, or specialty stores in the Italian section of your city.

  • Re Hello Brooklyn 2.0, 3 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Is this the actual recipe circa 2019? Or is it a guestimate of it (e.g. likely altered rather than authentic?) I haven't tried it, but at first read it looks unbalanced (sweet) as an equal parts. The undated note above says that the menu listed rye, cardamaro, dry vermouth, chartreuse verte; and the 2023 menu (online) says "Rye, Amaro, Dry Vermouth, Chartreuse Verte." So the establishment might be varying the amaro used; but I do wonder if the original used green rather than yellow chartreuse.

  • Re Torres del Paine, 3 days ago Mixin In Ansley commented:

    Needs .25 oz simple to sweeten but also round the cocktail

  • Re Hello Brooklyn 2.0, 3 days ago Artur B commented:

    Too sweet. Less amaro and chartreuse I think.

  • Re Lacrimosa, 4 days ago Shawn C commented:

    Good, but overly stout at nearly 81 proof before ice dilution. Next time I will try it w/1.5 oz of Rittenhouse to tame the heat a little and to get the total alcohol content below 1.2 oz.

    Candy like sweet but pleasantly so. The gin is a little bit lost.
