Excellent template to tinker with. Tried this time with Tempus Fugit Gran Classico for the amaro and a Campari / Combier triple sec split for the aperitivo. Still five stars.

Beauty.
The proportions are spot on. Everything comes through nicely with nothing dominating.
This is one of my favourites.

Hey Wiggles, love the graphics on your homepage!

Another great cocktail from Ted Kilgore. I’m a big fan of Ted’s Purgatory cocktail and this one is also a real banger. On the second round I modified it slightly with expressed lemon rind garnish rather than the orange and also added one dash of cherry bitters. Lovely concoction this!

Cheers, Ted, another hit.

Made with bourbon and amaro nonino, which is what I had on hand. The mezcal dominates, but doesn't detract from the drink. I do think that averna+rye would help the profile. I really like that the elderflower still manages to come through the other flavors. Definitely going into the rotation.

I’ve made this both as written, and inverting the rye and mezcal proportions. I’m a fan of both, but more-so of the mezcal heavier one.

Yes this is lovely. Sweet and few things going on but nothing dominates.

Made it with Bourbon (I don't know why, except that I was a bit tired), but it was sensational, and it will probably be even better with Rye. Complex, sophisticated, delicious, and incredibly boozy - this is what I imagined cocktails were supposed to be all about!
