IGNIS
Bourbon, black cardamom, demerara, peat, sandalwood, smoke; gold. The conflagration lasted seven nights and the intervening days, driving people to take refuge ... Nero watched the destruction from the Tower of Maecenas, and, elated by the beauty of the flames, he sang a composition called ‘The Fall of Troy’ from beginning to end. —Suetonius: The Twelve Caesars, Book VI: Nero, XXXVIII
-
Augusta
Gin, chamomile, bay leaf, vermouth, green cardamom, olive oil. Nero’s mother Agrippina maneuvered, poisoned, and schemed to cultivate his ascension; Sabina followed in her wake, leveraging her beauty and ambition for status and continuing a ruthless cycle. Ultimately, their pursuits of control over Nero led to their downfall, the laurels of power crumbling before them
