After reading the comments, reduced the lime by 10%. Was definitely on the dry side, most enjoyable though. Used the recommended substitution Cocchi Vermouth Amaro...And then my cat tipped it over. Deliberately! Agent of entropy. (That's why we call him Mewsifer.) I'm making another. All is forgiven.

They love mischief, and we always forgive!

Yes thanks Paloma, we love our kitties, Pumpkin (Punka) and Grey. Years ago I awoke 4:30 am to urgent distressed meowing coming from the closet. Grey had gotten atop the hot water heater and slipped head first into the narrow triangular space behind it, unable to right himself let alone climb out. It was all I could do to reach him but he let me lift him out by his tail with no complaints. We've since taken care to cat-proof! Cheers.

Agree with the above. Needed some sweetness. Added some honey syrup, split Amaro base Averna and Nonino, and rhubarb bitters and it was quite enjoyable.

Echoing the previous comments. This is quite tart and benefits from a little simple.

I tried the soft version with Nonino Quintessenzia. Maybe it could be a bit heavier on the herb side.

It was just a little unbalanced for me. I tend to like sour drinks but this was a tad heavy on the sour. I added just a teeny bit of grenadine (about 1/8 oz) and another 1/8 oz of allspice, and that was enough to balance it out for me.
