So named due to originally being made with Savoia, Mezcal and Montenegro. On the bitter side of bittersweet but eases with the dilution that comes with...
A gentle, beautifully balanced cocktail. We substituted Cardamaro for the suggested Montenegro...to our taste, the latter is a bit one-dimensional and lackluster.
We also lacked an ingredient, substituting a bitter vermouth (Cocchi's Dopo Teatro) for the Amaro. Really delicious! Reminded me of a Manhattan, especially with the 'contemplative consumption'.
