About
This cocktail was created in 2013 by Leandro DiMonriva (@theeducatedbarfly) at Cole’s French Dip in Los Angeles, CA. It came about after a customer asked for a drink they had tried at The Violet Hour, and the name seems to be a joke referencing Leandro himself. There is a lot of bitter going on here between the Amaro CioCiaro and Aperol, but the maraschino adds a little sweetness and the lemon helps keep everything balanced.Cheers y'all!
