Bartender Says: "The amaro averna makes this cocktail unique. Averna is a brand of amaro, which is what you get from the infusion of bitter herbs, aromatic plants, fruit in alcohol and water. It's floral and easy to drink, but potent, like a dark & stormy. Taking a classic like the dark and stormy and reinvigorating it makes it stand out from other cocktails." —Danny Gil, Bar Manager

Recipe:

1 1/2 oz. Amaro Averna
3/4 oz. fresh ginger syrup (fresh ginger juice and sugar)
1/2 oz. fresh lime juice
Ginger for garnish

Build in a shaker with a small piece of ice and give just a few shakes. Pour over ice into a Collins glass and top with soda. Garnish with a ginger candy or fresh ginger.
