Being a huge fan of Suze this has long been a favorite of mine. Cocchi Americano and Suze combine flawlessly with the Midori lingering in the wings. If you like this might I suggest a Green Negroni?

I cut the Suze from 20 to 15 and increase the Midori from 10 to 15, more balanced for people who are not fans of Suze.

I did the same and find it indeed more balanced that way
