Notes

Source recipe says "1 lemon" but this drink also appears in the book "Amaro" by B.T. Parsons and is listed as 1 oz lemon.

Curator's note: article states 1 bottle of Underberg is 3/4 oz, but it is 20 ml which is 2/3 oz.

History

Internet Wayback Machine shows article dates at least to 2011.

  • Excellent with Asbach Uralt 3 Years. Love this almost as much as a Trinidad Sour. Make your own orgeat for the best results. I use and recommend the orgeat recipe by Kevin Kos.
