queen village

2 oz Laird's Applejack (Laird's Bonded)
1 oz Cocchi Sweet Vermouth
1/4 oz Fernet Branca
1/4 oz Varnelli Caffè Moka (Mr. Black)

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe glass.Two Mondays ago, I found a set of online recipe flashcards from Giuseppe & Sons in Philadelphia, and I honed in on the Marconi Wireless riff called the Queen Village named after a neighborhood nearby the bar. With the apple brandy, sweet vermouth, and Fernet, it reminded me of the Newark but with coffee liqueur instead of Maraschino. Once prepared, the Queen Village showcased an apple and minty-menthol bouquet to the nose. Next, grape and caramel notes on the sip led into apple and bitter herbal-coffee flavors on the swallow.
