The Little Wolf

Heela Mottus
IL LUPINO TRATTORIA & WINE BAR
general manager

“The Little Wolf is our signature cocktail at Il Lupino (which translates to “the little wolf”). It’s kind of a play on our owner’s name, Wolfgang (Zwiener) — and also the owner of our big sister restaurant, Wolfgang’s Steak-house by Wolfgang Zwiener.

“Our head bartender, Jed Schaffer, created this drink to bring some Italian flavor to our signature cocktail. I’m not sure if anyone else uses prosciutto as a garnish, but the salty taste of the cured meat adds a wonderful flavor to this concoction — and we’ve noticed everyone eats all their prosciutto! The Little Wolf has become quite a popular libation among our patrons!”
