We could slip away

Wouldnt that be better?

e bittersweet lyrics of Autumn Sweater, from Yo La

Tengos 1997 album, I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One, serve

as the source material for this melancholy change-of-season

shoegazer. Serve it over a large block of ice, or over an ice

sphereeven better to evoke a fat harvest moon hanging in

the nighttime sky.

Made in Sicily since 1868, Averna is a syrupy, bitter herbal

liqueur. It isnt overpowering, though, and is a great gateway

amaro if youre interested in exploring potable bitters. Amaro

Nonino is another mild Italian digestif whose caramel color

and warm, spicy burnt orange notes round out the full fall

flavors here. Wrap yourself in an Autumn Sweater and

embrace what the season has in store for you.

y

Combine all the ingredients except the garnish in a mixing

glass filled with ice and stir until chilled. Add a large sphere

of ice to a chil led double old-fashioned and strain the drink

into the glass. For the garnish, use a paring knife to slice a

thick strip of zest from an orange. Twist it over the drink to

release the essential oils and rub along the rim of the glass.

Stud the orange zest with two whole cloves and drape it over

the ice sphere.
