Nicholas Wyatt is common supervisor of Ravello Ristorante, an Amalfi Coast-inspired restaurant in Montgomery, AL.
Drawing inspiration from the traditional Negroni Sbagliato that has made a viral comeback due to Home of the Dragon star, Emma D’Arcy, and from America’s authentic flapper and Montgomery native, Zelda Fitzgerald, I created a variation of the beloved drink and garnished it with native tales and magnificence.
Ravello’s Sips of Paradise is a nod to Bits of Paradise, a group of brief tales by Zelda Fitzgerald, and her (nearly) equally well-known husband, F. Scott. Along with Zelda’s upbringing in Alabama’s capital metropolis, the literary couple lived in Montgomery from 1931 to 1932 within the historic Outdated Cloverdale neighborhood and wrote parts of their respective novels, Tender is the Evening and Save Me the Waltz.
Impressed by town’s native legends, my elegant twist on the Italian traditional combines Aperol, Nonino L’Aperitivo and Scarpetta prosecco — Ravello’s by-the-glass prosecco providing — and is about off by the deep crimson garnish of a dehydrated blood-orange wheel. Balanced and refreshing, its glamour pairs properly with Ravello’s elegantly renovated Twenties financial institution constructing, delivering a shocking cocktail expertise.
