Really delicious. The bright and sharp amari stand toe to toe with the reposado and the sherry contributes depth and complexity.

I would like to make this but can't get Braulio. Any substitution suggestions?

We would be tempted to try Nardini or Ramazzotti. Not Montenegro...too sweet and light against the Braulio.

I think Averna or Montenegro, while a bit sweeter, may make good substitutions for Braulio.
