Jimmy Two Times from Goodfellas got that nickname because he said everything twice.
This here cocktail got that name because its creator is really into Goodfellas.
So that explains that.
Said creator is Julian Cox, an award-winning bartender from LA who packed his bags and moved to Chicago in order to mix some wonderfully Italian drinks at the very new, very pasta-forward Il Porcellino.
You’ll want to engage this whiskey-and-amaro number in the transitional weeks between early spring and spring spring, when an unexpected cold front can demand some added warmth. Or when the rain can demand some added whiskey.
Or whenever, really. Cocktails are amenable that way.
