Make Room for More!

Feeling excited for but almost daunted by the sheer volume of holiday dishes to be consumed at tomorrow’s feast? Consider whipping up an apéritivo, a drink traditionally enjoyed before dinner to stimulate the appetite.

In our November issue, we featured Muse bartender Sean Mahoney’s The Screamin’ Eagle, a play off of a classic negroni with a base of gin, sweet vermouth, and bitters. It gets its curious bite from Fernet-Branca—a potent Amaro that Mahoney floats on top of the cocktail—and its name from the bottle’s eagle logo.

“It’s a versatile cocktail that’s an apéritivo as well as a digestif, light and refreshing with a bittersweet finish,” says the bartender, who suggests a “wee-nip” of it during dinner so you can continue to enjoy the evening. Hey, we’ll give thanks for that!
