Lee Zaremba concocted this drink as a tribute to a few of the places that have shaped his artistic sensibility: Txakoli nods to Spain, Meletti amaro to Italy, and Bombay Sapphire gin to Britain. “It’s a white wine cobbler with a play on words that brings it back around to the influence hip-hop has had on my bartending,” says Zaremba.
