I thought there were at least some bitters in there, or two kinds of vermouth. Nope. Turns out the Moto Guzzi is the White Stripes of cocktails: like the guitarist and drummer that make up the entire band, the two ingredients in the cocktail create something raucous, deep and compelling. You can find the complete recipe here. [...] […] The first time I tried a Moto Guzzi, I had no idea that all it was was equal parts Booker’s bourbon* and Punt e Mes.

And thanks for the recommendation. I like Red Hooks, so I imagine the Moto Guzzi is fab. Thanks, Ben! And thanks for the recommendation. I like Red Hooks, so I imagine the Moto Guzzi is fab.

Fantastic stuff... and a fantastic blog, just found you today and I'm impressed!

It also adds a bit of complexity (and an attractive deeper color) to a Negroni Cocktail, a trick Joe Carbonaro, beloved barman at the sorely-missed Caffe Umbra, used in his signature version of the drink. It also makes for a tastier Americano highballl. I describe the stuff to friends as "vermouth that wants to be Campari."
