Shady Grove

Jon Mullen, Grand Army | Brooklyn, New York

Jon Mullen’s Shady Grove imagines an aperitivo twist on the Paloma, with a brief layover in France—what he dubs a “Palomaperitivo.” He achieves this by mixing together silky bianco vermouth with the bitter French gentian liqueur Suze and Calvados, though you can also can sub in another clear spirit with fruity or vegetal qualities, such as tequila, gin or rhum agricole.
