60ml Cognac
15ml Muscat (but Muscadelle is better)
15ml Nonino Amaro Quintessentia
10ml dry vermouth
1 dash Orange Bitters
If you have a big Stilton or Roquefort to enjoy alongside your cocktail, then maybe substitute bianco for the dry vermouth, and perhaps add another dash of bitters. Merry Christmas!
