Notes
* This cocktail was used with Amaro Nonino Quintessentia which can be difficult to find. Both Amaro Averna and Amaro Montenegro make good substitutes.
* Before squeezing the lemon, heat it in a microwave for about 20 seconds and then rub it back and forth on the counter top. This easy two-step process results in more juice per piece of fruit.
