Quite a good little late night desert sipper. Like a mellower Boulevardier or Negroni. Stumbled upon this looking for something to use my white Creme De Cacao with and this might become a regular!
This cocktail went immediately into my favorites. I find it smoother than a Boulevardier and a bit more 'tourist friendly' than a Negroni. I'm looking forward to sharing this with my Campari loving friends, and I can't wait to experiment with the cocao. Maybe Bene, or Monte?
My wife and I quite enjoyed this one. The bite of the rye complimented the touch of cocoa and made an enjoyable sipper for sitting on the porch. By the way, it really works with Bruto Americano from St. George Spirits in Alameda California in lieu of Campari.
