Whenever I hear Groundhog Day, I think of Punxsutawney and the 1993 film with Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell and Chris Elliott. I’m sure you’ve all seen it – you know the one where he’s the weatherman and keeps re-living the same day again and again (hmmm - sounds familiar – no of course not, I’ve never heard you tell that story before).
What some of you might not remember is the cocktail that Phil Connors (AKA Bill Murray) is forced to drink whilst chatting up his producer – you got it, the very European Vermouth on the rocks (in this case sweet)– often referred to in Europe as a Martini, which also explains why some Europeans are a little shocked with what they get when they order a Martini here – but that’s another story!
We're going to be using Tribuno at Barramundi Bar on the Lower East Side but Martini Rosso or Cinzano are also good - which do you prefer?
Cheers! Happy Ground Hog Day -did I already say that? - maybe we are in a loop.
