Secrets of Savoy

Secrets of Savoy is a deeply seductive, spirit-forward nightcap that showcases an exceptional affinity between earthy agave notes and complex, bittersweet liqueurs. Stirred to a velvety chill with a bold foundation of artisanal mezcal, rich Amaro Lucano, and an almost imperceptible, sweet whisper of maraschino liqueur, this potent late-night sipper is strained into an ice-filled old-fashioned glass and finished with a fragrant, expressed lemon zest twist.
