Wow a cocoa nib infusion really does wonders for Campari!
Little off topic, but is Banane du Brésil the default banana liqueur for all cocktails on Difford's?
It is by all means the best banana liqueur I know of, but at the same time it has a flavour profile that differs vastly from all the others.
It would of course elevate a lot of cocktails because of this, but wouldn't it at the same time risk being a mismatch for others?
Didn't have cacao nib infused Campari to hand, but it's one of my favourite infusions. Replaced with a few dashes of spiced chocolate bitters - delicious. Going to do the infusion and try again and see how much better it gets.
It's everything you want from a boulevardier - or rather, a left hand - but with the surprise of banana.

Thanks, great cocktail!
I also tried a version with the obvious name Psicó asesino where Ancho Reyes substitutes Crème de cacao. Here, I also added chocolate bitters because I find that the cocoa aspect is quintessential. Not saying it is fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, fa, better, but very good...!
