Jacob Harper
Bruno’s understands a good mixed drink is harmony: can’t be all sugar and no punch, but it also shouldn’t be too booze-y, unless you are super-depressed and don’t give a rats ass anyways. So why not cut into the mind-numbing sweetness of Disaronno and Orangecello with some good old-fashioned grain alcohol? Best of both worlds.
WHAT’S IN IT?: Disaronno, heavy cream, the house-made Orangecello (zest, grain alcohol and simple syrup), served in with an orange peel.
WHAT’S IT LOOK LIKE: Milk that didn’t survive the ice storm. Maybe it’s my high tolerance of spoiled food, but I didn’t mind.
WHAT IT TASTES LIKE: Like the bartender promised, “an orange sherbet.” Or is it sher-bert? I can never remember. Anyways, the taste reminded me of my childhood summers, had I spent them half-drunk.
HOW MUCH IT COSTS: $6
