Thanks for pointing out the

Thanks for pointing out the lack of directions. I fixed that. Tremontis is the brand of mirto that I can get here in Boston.

Amy, Mirto is a Sardinian

Amy,

Mirto is a Sardinian liqueur based on myrtle berries. It's sort of bitter-sour and resinous, and in a pinch, I'd try 1/2 black currant liqueur, 1/4 gin, and 1/4 dry red wine to get close.

Thanks,

Zachary
