Oh boy, is this one a revelation. Here is a gateway drug for anyone who thinks of themselves as “not a whiskey drinker.” Created by famed bartender Sam Ross in 2008 and named for the MIA song that was inescapable that summer, this drink is a modern classic and a great introduction to the world of Amari, here using Nonino Quintessentia. Buy a bottle – you’ll be glad you did.
