Safe Passage
Franny's, Brooklyn, NY
“This drink is a riff on another cocktail called the Sweet Olive, which hails from the beloved Brooklyn restaurant Franny’s. Keneniah Bystrom created the Safe Passage to guide his restaurant through a party in honor of Franny’s recently released cookbook. Swapping the Sweet Olive’s Meletti Amaro for Amaro Nardini—which is infused with bitter gentian and fresh peppermint—Bystrom created a softly bitter spritz whose salty complexity matches the sweet citrus of Aperol and the bitter twinge of Nardini.” — Talia Baiocchi and Leslie Pariseau
