Caffe correto (aka prima collazione di campioni) is a shot of espresso fortified with grappa- a traditional way, in certain circles, to start the day. We've borrowed the idea and placed it at the end of the day instead...Fior di Latte gelato, a personal moka pot of .....and a generous pour of .

The Alpino Rosso: Bordiga rosso vermouth, Bordiga Delai amaro, fresh lime juice.

Bordiga is one of our favorite Northern Italian spirit producers. They've been making tremendous products since 1888, all from hand-harvested alpine herbs.
