Well obviously I need to try this with the recommended brands, but Cocchi Americano, Punt e Mes, and (1 dash) Fee Bros West Indian did wonders. Instant favorite.

Took Calvin's advice and added a few drops of grapefruit bitters. Perfect aperitif. Slightly sweet and bitter. Herbal hints. Wow.

Made again, this time with Cocchi Dopo Teatro and Cynar 70, and a few drops grapefruit bitters. 5+

Many thanks for the feedback, Calvin and John. Agreed! I've added 4 drops of grapefruit bitters to the recipe.

OK. This goes to the top of my "Best Cardamaro Cocktails" list. Ditto for Cynar but with the qualifier "among" (there's so many good ones). If you like negronis do try.
