I like this one on a large rock much better than up - the extra chill and dilution helps with the sweetness.

Tried adding an oz of Rittenhouse Rye to this and it cut through the sweetness very nicely. Ended up with a sort of Manhattan variation

Also - used Dolin instead of Cinzano. Wanna try in old fashioned glass with cubes, negroni-like - I think that it must be chilled all the time, water would dillute some sweetness and will give strega's herbals a better kick afterwards
