This is a drink for new beginnings: Edward Hansel developed it as a smoother gateway for those curious but unaccustomed to Fernet shots. The trio of coffee liqueur, amaro and Luxardo Bitter Bianco in the Capputivo is delicate, but still revving—that’s why Hansel suggests drinking it to start your day or evening—“at 7 a.m. or p.m., with rad sunglasses on.”
