Juicy orange up front, some other citrus notes, dark depth from the Montenegro, and nice spice notes from the bitters throughout. I like this one! By the way, swap the gin out for Jägermeister and the drink becomes a Precision Timepiece (also from Sother Teague).

A well-balanced cocktail that highlights the amaro in a wonderful way. The bitters really tie the cocktail together. Delightfully bittersweet, though I may try it with campari to see how it changes things.
