A Bijou with a red bitter liqueur rinse. Orange bitters might suggest an orange zest twist would better suit this cocktail, but the cleansing, drying influence...

Really superb balance here for us. We used Punt e Mes in place of the Carpano as the latter is sometimes a bit too expressive of vanilla for our taste. And for the red bitter we went with Gran Classico, which we think suits a drink that is presenting itself as rounded and slightly voluptuous. With the somewhat austere ones we reach for the Campari. Sadly Strucchi is not available to us downunder.
