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.

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.

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

A delicious Manhattan-like cocktail that's brilliantly enlivened by chinato and fino sherry with maraschino playing an enhancing role
