As written, I found the spec too sweet, so I made my own "black" variation inspired by the Black Manhattan. Following Simon's lead of naming his variation after the place of invention, I'm calling it the Barbican Minute:
2oz reposado tequila (I used Don Julio)
2/3oz Averna
1/4oz maraschino liqueur (I used Maraska)
8 drops Bob's Margarita Bitters
Stir, serve in an old fashioned glass with a big cube. Express orange peel over top and discard. Garnish with three coffee beans (they sit nicely on top of the big cube!).
