Oliver McCrum Wines has been importing small production Italian wine and distributing to fine retail and restaurant establishes throughout California since 1994. Over time, our portfolio of producers has steadily grown to over 45 producers from 15 different regions of Italy. We look for typical Italian wines with clarity and freshness, usually made from indigenous Italian grape varieties using clean, transparent winemaking techniques and no obvious use of oak.

Corpse Reviver

#2

absinthe rinse
1 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 oz Macchia Vermouth Bianco
1 oz Bordiga Occitan Gin
0.25 oz Bresca Dorada Arangiu
0.25 Rossa Amara

shake, strain into a coupe, lemon twist

*Rossa Amara and Bresca Dorada Arangiù are a combined substitution for orange liqueur here. It’s fun to layer the complexity of Amara with the pure Sarrabus orange expression of Arangiù, however both are excellent stand alone substitutions.
