This one really took me by surprise. I don't know why but from the ingredients and name I just had a feeling of "eh I'll give it a shot" but now that I've tried it it's a lot better than I ever would've assumed.

The real star of the show is the Pisco+Montenegro. It's a brilliant pairing and I'm surprised I haven't seen it before. If you have any sort of inclination for herbal/floral cocktails then you need to try this one out. The Pisco really dances across the palate but any distilled funkiness is kept in check by the bitterness from the Montenegro.

I like the vanilla syrup for what it does to the backend of the palate, but it also prevents the drink from becoming the fresh Spring drink it really could be. Next time I'll try it without the vanilla syrup just to see how it goes.

Just to be clear: the syrup is needed. It's specifically the vanilla kind I'm a bit divided about. Do not make this without any syrup.

This is a delicious drink, but I must confess I am confused by the name! As far as I can tell, “Stonage” is not a word.

Is it meant to be “Stone Age”, given that it’s garnished with “edible chocolate stones”?

I’m here so answer my own question.
My research indicates that the recipe was created by Filippo Previero, who is Italian.
Turns out that “Stonage” is Italian for “Stone Age”!
Mystery solved!

Ooh this is really nice. A bit tart maybe because of my lemons so might need tweaking but it's got the Bergamot and herbal notes from the amaro. Very nice and tasty
