Interesting but don’t love it. Didn’t quite come together for me. Spec plus one dash each bitter truth aromatic and Jerry Thomas bitters, and plenty of dilution. Would consider retrying.

With this one we substitute Cocchi Vermouth Amaro (Dopo Teatro) for the dry Vermouth and use Boker's Bitters. That way, one can up the Rye Whiskey volume a tad (say by 5ml), if one wishes. Cheers.

This was outstanding. Used a California Rye at 118 proof and it was perfect. Taste of the rye was up front with the herbal and fruit flavours in the back. On my favourites.

Nice Brooklyn riff

All of the flavors I enjoy. I will probably tweak it slightly, already added more rye in the second mix. Whenever there is Luxardo marachino and Green Chartruese, you can't go wrong.

Vermouth dominates the accent ingredients, possibly even the spirit. Will try again with smaller proportion.
