At Clementine in Edmonton, Alberta, Mitch Caddick was inspired by the Negroni Sbagliato when creating the Cetara. Punt e Mes and Campari harmonize with Italian bitter soda (the bar has used both Crodino and Stappi Red Bitter), brightened with lime juice that echoes the acidity of grapefruit peel–infused London dry gin.
