When she was first learning about amaro, Claire Sprouse had never considered the context of connecting Averna to the Mediterranean terroir of its birthplace. “There is a subtle brightness, much like the Sicilian sunshine, that can be brought out with just a little coaxing from joining Averna with fresh herbs and citrus zest.” She calls the Parasole “a punchy, tropical” cocktail inspired by the Mediterranean lifestyle. “It’s essentially a bitter, low-ABV version of a Tequila Sunrise that is perfect for sipping on a sidewalk café patio.”
