Comments

If you have a bottle of Dimmi, I can't think of a better use for it. Cynar and grapefruit are awesome together, and the Dimmi augments the grapefruit flavor as St. Germain would, but with much less sweetness.

Curated to provide year, place of origin, and to change from unknown to authentic recipe.
