A variation on PDT's Newark Cocktail, the Lakeshore is a delicious spirit-forward, herbal, fresh, bittersweet aperitivo or cleansing late-night digestivo.

Subbed the Dubonnet for Antica Formula & this was terrific. Reminded me of a Red Hook..

Subbed the fernet with cynar. liked it well enough.

It's good. I like fernet but it's a real attention- seeker, it's all, me me me. Maybe some other accent flavour would allow the others to get some space?

Regarding origin, this is basically the Duboudreau Cocktail from Meehan's Bartender Manual (p 341) with Rum instead of Rittenhouse Rye.

Thanks. I've added Jim's DuBoudreau to Difford's Guide with links between the two cocktails as variations.

Very nice and works well as a bittersweet apertivo. I would like to try again but use a different amaro; maybe Cynar?
