There’s something unique about Bar Termini, and it’s the reason I return visit after visit.
The tiny space, always packed. The immaculate waiters in their black-and-white uniforms. The almost Art Deco feeling of being part of a never-ending gathering.
But perhaps the most impressive detail is the way they serve a Negroni, alcoholic or non-alcoholic, filled right to the very top of the glass, almost above the rim, without spilling a single drop.
A small masterpiece of precision, style and hospitality.
We are going crazy over apples, as one of our neighbors is giving some away. Although we’ll be making applejack, it won’t be like Franklin D. Roosevelt, who included applejack in his Manhattans. Instead, it shall remain as original as the famous cocktail was in the Manhattan Club, originally crafted in honor of Jennie Spencer-Churchill, the mother of British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. This endeavor will culminate in an ‘Endless Apple Festival,’ honoring the Tatin sisters, who invented Tarte Tatin and made it the signature dish of their hotel.
Sisters and brothers, it's a privilege and with great honour that I present to you the liqueur Luxardo Maraschino.
Grown specifically in Luxardo's cherry orchard, Marasca cherries (a variety of sour Morello cherries native to Croatia's Dalmatia region) form the foundation of this unique liqueur. The Maraschino recipe has remained unchanged since 1821. Luxardo Maraschino is an indispensable component in a multitude of cocktails, several of them in the definitive list by IBA of the most requested recipes, used over the years by bartenders as an essential liqueur for any well-stocked bar.
