Old Money No. 2

Best described as a nutty, delicately bittersweet Old Fashioned. A tasty digestivo or late-night sipper

Could one substitute a couple of dashes of walnut bitters for the liqueur?

Dear John (as the ladies sometimes continue to write...hopefully not in your case), since you once pointed me in the direction of a local retailer for an amaro that was eluding my grasp, let me try to return the favour. What you might welcome is either/or both a wine-based Noix Saint Jean Aperitif (Spirits of France will oblige); and/or a spirit based Nocino such as that produced downunder by Autonomy. Nocino will deliver a 'bigger' drink but we like the subtlety of the aperitif. Your call. Cheers.

Great suggestions. I picked up a bottle of Nocello in the course of today’s activities but it’s pleasant but not overwhelming. I’m sure your suggestions will prove superior.

You could sub bitters for sweet liqueur, but it would produce a quite different cocktail.

I don't have walnut liqueur in the cabinet but may try subbing amaretto for it...stay tuned

Good point. I’ll maybe add a little sugar syrup too.
