Yesterday, Today and Amaro
Bittersweet and spiritous with herbal and subtle chocolate notes. Beware, "boozy" is an understatement, so perhaps split this recipe between two small...

The rye makes everything else much subtler, lightly sweet and dark in the front from the Averna, lightly bitter in the back/aftertaste with the Cynar, and Benedictine just barely peeking throughout. A nice drink that gives me unexpected espresso vibes when the Cynar hits.

Lovely and yes, a boozy drink! I will definitely try this again but with a bit less Bénédictine D.O.M though. I think it might also be interesting to use B&B which might lighten the body a bit not that using D.O.M. was too heavy.

This is...strange, but I like it. I've not been a fan of spirit-forward drinks in general and especially so with whiskey ones (manhattan, black manhattan, of, etc) but this...is really quite nice. the bitterness plays well into the spice. I've been really getting into amari and this has really made me want to try out the stirred amari drinks more.

It continues to add onto my list of confusion over Cynar, however - the stuff on its own is vile, but between this and the Artichoke Hold it seems to make things magical when mixed

Very good. Definitely “boozy” - three of us were quite content to split a 2x recipe.

Tried this with San Simone and Ciociaro as the Amari. Sensational! A regular added to the rotation for sure.

Used an 8 year Rhum Barbancourt as an substitute. Very good

I’m very interested to give this a try, I love Amari and Rhum Barbancourt together!
