Made with Don Ciccio e Figli Ferro-Kina Amaro, from DC. Quite a nice variation, recognizably a Negroni, but with the distinctive taste of the Ferro-Kina coming through and pushing it into lemon territory, rather than Campari's orange.

Ferro China makes everything bolder but in this case I feel it overpowers the essence of the Negroni. Not bad but not really an advance on the original.

What is a good sub for the Ferro China?

Needs to be ferro China as it has a very distinctive taste. Bisleri Ferro China is the only other ferro china, but it is a little different to Baliva.

Concur with this. Some Amari are kind of interchangeable but the Ferro Amari are very special and not really easily replaced. It's kind of like replacing gin with vodka — it's *technically* possible, since the cocktail will remain similarly balanced, but you'll lose an entire dimension of flavour.
