Sometimes a weekly cocktail has a long list of ingredients
(looking at you, Snow Leopard’s Tail).
Other times simplicity is the order of the day, as with the MonteCarlo. The Busted Pipe is in the latter
category. With just two ingredients plus
a citrus twist, it couldn’t be much simpler to make. But despite the easy preparation, the busted
pipe has more going on taste-wise than you’d expect. The Busted Pipe features
Amaro Nonino Quintessentia which is an Italian herbal liqueur crafted by the Nonino
family in 1933 and refined into its modern formulation in 1992. It incorporates aged grappa (brandy made from
grape parts left over from winemaking), which is unusual for an amaro, and is
finished in oak barrels. It’s famous as
a key ingredient of the Paper Plane. This cocktail is great over a single large
cube of ice, to be sipped as it evolves in the glass.
