Whenever we see a cocktail recipe with an unusual ingredient we need to make it.
And the Tartufo, with its strong flavour of black truffle, is a bold cocktail that rewards those who are just like us – open to the unexpected.
It may not seem like there is a lot of truffle in the cocktail, but it still taste a lot of it. In Greg Henry’s book “Savory Cocktails” the flavour of the cocktail is described as a dark earthiness, which we think is a very accurate description. A unique, adult and serious cocktail indeed.
