The Side Eye is another cocktail inspired by my debut novel THE LOVE FOOL.
This cocktail honors the plump black cat that frolicked among the ruins of Largo Argentina. I named it The Side Eye because of the surly look the cat gives to my main character Alex.
The drink’s structure is reminiscent of a Whiskey Sour, but with gin. I also added a dash of black pepper, a Luxardo cherry, and of course, some Cynar for that deep Italian twist.

![Memories: [Sept 2016 - Pienza, Italy] - I finally got to witness the famous Gioco di Cacio al Fuso in Pienza, Tuscany. A traditional game where four teams, dressed in medieval garb, compete using Pienza’s famous pecorino cheese. Contestants kneel on the floor and roll their wheel of pecorino to bring it as close as possible to an upright spindle. If you’re in Tuscany the first week of September, make the effort to visit the quaint and beautiful town, located south of Siena in the postcard picturesque area of Val d’Orcia. ✈️ I miss travel.
