Juan Meyer's original recipe calls for equal parts: Redemption rye whiskey, Suze, Amaro de Montenegro, and lemon juice. It's very tasty but I couldn't...

I'm always hesitant with recipes with Suze in because on its own -- to me -- it's so bitter that it feels like it'll completely take over everything. Not here - it's definitely a Suze cocktail but it's perfectly balanced.

Original recipe is quite good, my wife and I are big fans of Tequila and Mezcal. Try Blanco Tequila instead of Rye and Mescal instead of Bourbon. You won't be disappointed.

Made as written, loved balance of bitter and sour. Big Suze fan, so it speaks to me

I tried the original, equal parts version first and found it a bit too sour. Will try again reducing the gentian and the lemon as suggested by Simon

I definitely liked the "revised" version (3 whiskey, 3 amaro, 2 gentian, 2 lemon) better. An interesting cocktail, where you can play with different amari to find the one that works best for you. I wouldn't do it again for aperitivo though, I will use it as an after-dinner

Perhaps I’m a boozy philistine, but I find the original, less “approachable” beverage recipe to be more enjoyable.

Thanks Nathan. Just tried again and found better with a splash of rye so I've amended the recipe accordingly. Hope Juan approves.
