Mauro Scomerza is an Italian bar tender in a new bar on Park Lane. Somehow a bit wired chap (look at his eyes…) and at times and reminds a bit of the Godfather, however, that’s what makes him a signature bartender, besides being brilliant and a real pro, knowing the drinks, all the guests preferences, always a lighter in the pocket and everything executed with real Italian charm.
I personally love bitters such as Punt e Mes, Unicum Zwack and if nothing else available I will also drink a Fernet Branca. He came up with this wonderful drink the other day and gave me to try, it’s something his “old man” as he calls his dad makes in Italy.
Scomerz aperitivo frizzante:
200ml Aperol
40ml Campari
100ml fresh orange or Blood Orange (better) juice
serve on the rocks in a long drink glass, top with Prosecco or Champagne
This is a realy good apertive, fresh with the orange, bitter with the bitters (…) and perfect to sip away before a great meal.
