Name: Matsutake Flip.
Price: $11.
Easily Confused With: “Matsuzaka Flip”—the moment Boston’s tide of goodwill turned against Dice-K.
Mastermind: Rob Hoover, formerly of UpStairs on the Square and the Gallows.
Tasting Notes from Chef Draghi: “Not unlike a coniferous forest in spring” and reminiscent of Blis bourbon barrel maple syrup.
In Layman’s Terms: Sweet, earthy and slightly nutty with a dry finish.
Ingredients: Dry marsala wine, honey simple syrup, organic duck egg, two-month-aged bourbon-Matsutake tincture.
Mushroom Facts: Matsutake are pine mushrooms found on forest floors. They’re carefully foraged from the wild, and their limited availability makes them a culinary delicacy.
Garnished With: Nutmeg, torched Matsutake sliver.
They Consider It a Spin on: Eggnog.
For Date Night: Cozy up to the intimate bar and enjoy rustic items from Erbaluce’s enoteca menu.
