Foe those who like a bit of sourness, I would add at most 5 mL of lemon juice. Otherwise, excellent.

I really like this suggestion. It deviates the cocktail from a Negroni riff, sure, but the touch of acidity really helps to brighten the drink up without making it taste like a sour drink.

All the ingredients complemented each other well. 👍

I liked Andre’s suggestion of Bowmore 12, only had 10mL left in the bottle so topped up with a full 30ml Dufftown Singleton, 30 Cardamaro and Cocchi vermouth Di Torino. Went with the usual Orange wheel garnish, but a sprig of lavender would have been nice too.

For me the general sweetness diminished the balance, the Speyside whisky had no chance.

Had as an aperitif and it was perfect. Did find it a bit sweet for our tastes, so we added 3 drops of orange bitters (since the garnish was orange zest). Bitters lessened the sweetness. Both versions were wonderful.
