This seems pretty similar to the Applejack Rabbit, circa 1930s. I believe it was included on one of PDT's early fall menus (which is where I first had it).

  • I was on the fence on this, but it grew on me as I made my way through the cocktail. I made it a second time, swapping out the Benedictine for Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur and enjoyed that a bit better. — ★★★★

Take on Me

1 oz Zucca
1 oz Dry vermouth
1⁄2 oz Orange liqueur, Clément Créole Shrubb (Or other orange liqueur)
1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
2 oz Soda water (In glass, not shake)
1 twst Orange peel (As garnish)
Instructions

Shake (all but the soda water and twist) with ice and strain into a Collins glass with 2 oz soda water. Top with ice, garnish with an orange twist, and add a straw.

History

For Loyal Nine's Yacht Rock Sunday, I was inspired by a guest's call for a Zucca Spritz akin to the more common call for an Aperol one. In thinking about amari and carbonation, I decided to go in the direction of Michael McIlroy's Rome with a View . In the end, my formulation took the shape of a Zucca and dry vermouth Daisy replete with citrus, orange liqueur, and soda water. With nothing all that Italian sounding in yacht rock playlist song titles, I opted for an A-ha moment with Take on Me.
