Good after dinner cocktail. I used Kraken, which probably lacks the required cacao/coffee profile, so I put 2 extra dashes of chocolate bitters. In any case, Campari takes the lead, followed by the bitters, and then the Amaro.

I’m not brave enough to throw with gusto but this was a really pleasant drink. The rum and Campari complement each other well
