Light and refreshing, Alex Negranza’s Cornucopia takes its lead from the Pimm’s Cup. With its autumnal flavors, it’s meant to be a pre-dinner cooler. “The goal here was to create a cocktail that was not so heavy, both in ABV [and] flavor,” says Negranza. Pairing the sprightly flavor of L’Aperitivo Nonino and the spicy, floral notes of Amaro Nonino, this long drink is brought together with a rich, cinnamon-tinged brown sugar syrup and a touch of lemon.
