Review

On the dry bitter side of bittersweet, it may take three sips before your palette appreciates this Negroni-style aperitivo.

It is very dry, but it’s also very delicious! I added a generous hunk of orange to keep it fruity (political references not intended 😉). Almost leathery palate with the dry vermouth and rye, but there’s still plenty of fruit and some nuttiness too (asking for a friend). Kind of like negroni meets Affinity - if you like those you may well like this.

Minor typo in the variants links - second one should read Old Gal. Tho hopefully your old gal is also your old pal, I know mine is 😂
