A Brooklyn riff worthy of its association with Milk & Honey. I’d nudge the sweet/dry rating one level to the left (6). Made with Rittenhouse, Luxardo, Noilly Prat and Cynar 33. Perfectly balanced and nuanced thanks to delicate French dry vermouth and richly bitter Cynar.

Every ingredient in this cocktail is better served on its own. Really disapponting.

It's balanced but I don't like it that much. It's a weird mix of sweet and savoury that doesn't...quite work. It's a little dry from the vermouth and cynar and a little spicy from the rye, and there's the maraschino sweetness and whilst it's *balanced* it feels like it's pulling in every direction at once

I'm definitely a fan of this one!

you gotta be a luxardo fan (which i am not). total takes over… (but thats my opinion, which is skewed. could see being good for someone who like luxardo and something bitter)

This cocktail is good, but misses on two ingredients. Dry vermouth is ubiquitous, but the sharp/sweet combo of Cocchi Americano is much better. Cynar is popular right now, but it's the wrong Amaro for this balance. Averna is much better. And as for a garnish, I'm partial to an orange twist, which brings in a citrus bitter that adds so much more than cherry sweetness. So, my recipe is: 2 oz rye, 1 oz Cocchi Americano, 1/3 oz (2 tsp) Maraschino Liqueur, 1/6 oz (1 tsp) Averna. Stir, orange twist.

Excellent! Both dry and sweet with lots of flavor. Cynar and maraschino work together to deliver a boozy cocktail that’s nicely balanced sweet and dry.

Terrific! Boozy, hint of sweetness from the Maraschino. Complexity from the Cynar. Try it!
