Such a delicious and perfectly balanced cocktail. Definitely a new favorite added to the list. This would be an excellent introduction for those who typically dislike Mezcal. I added 1 dash of Grapefruit Bitters which brightened it up and made it even more flavorful.

Wife and I were craving italicus, we love mezcal and had no montenegro on hand so we subbed cynar per the notes. Added orange bitters and peel to garnish...happy surprise new cocktail to the repertoire, simply lovely. Cheers!

I was worried this would be too sweet for me so I added a couple dashes of orange bitters, also used both orange and lemon zest to garnish. really nice drink!

Very nice! I ended up with a Me/Me/and I (mezcal/Meletti/and Italicus) - I find that Meletti is very similar to Montenegro and is a bit less expensive, so I tried it. Rich and darkly sweet, and a nice note of smoke that really combines well with the amaro. The Italicus adds a bit of brightness, and makes a fleeting appearance as the leading flavor note after the initial sip but yields well before the finish.

I found the mezcal a little overpowering in this one. Might try with tequila reposado and see where we land.

Superb. I would never have thought that this combination could be so good.

Very tasty, and a sophisticated mix. I may try dialling back the Montenegro a hair, to bring up the Italicus a little. I’ll see.
