A nice bitter, citrusy hot-weather cocktail with some complexity to it. I cut the Suze to 1/2 oz, which is plenty of gentian for one drink, and replaced the Amaro Nonino with Amaro Montenegro as suggested by others because one really doesn't need to deplete one's supply of Nonino for this fairly bitter and sour cooler. Worth trying with rye.
Wow. I enjoyed this. Did not feel Suze overpowered. Used rye and monte negro since I had them. Maybe a bit too tart but that could be my lemons. Refreshing on a 107 degree day
Saw the ingredient list and was so confused I felt I had to try it..and yeah this is Suze central. No identifiable bourbon or vanilla, just a whole lotta gentian.
I'd have to disagree with Robert, the Suze is the star of the show here and is overpowering the flavors. If you like Suze, you'll like this, otherwise look for something else.
Subbed Montenegro for the Nonino. A bit too much lemon for my taste, but otherwise a great drink. I completely get the “not-hot-hot toddy” effect; I suspect if this were served hot, the proportion of lemon juice come closer to the mark.
