This was outstanding. We were looking for a lighter, more refreshing whiskey cocktail to beat the heat here in California and this was it. We did not have Meletti on hand but used Averna instead. This is just a beautiful balance of varied citrus flavours and richer notes from the bourbon and amaro. One of the best sour variations I've had in recent years; we'll be adding this to our permanent repertoire.

Made this with Averna and it was very nicely balanced. Enough bitterness from the grapefruit, and rich texture from the Amaro. Came out great.

We also used Averna and thought this was an outstanding cocktail. Juicy and bright but quite complex. A new favourite for us.

A beautifully balanced and complex sour. I wonder why our good host could go no higher than four stars.

Maybe it's just us but Meletti has the vaguest of vague hint of salted anchovy...one reason why we love it.
