Really tasty drink, that demands some patience, do not judge it too fast. After the first bitterness has softened up your tongue it opens up a lot.

Campari/Cap Corse Bianco Quinquina Vermouth/Fernet/Cynar/Sipsmith/Mixed Orange Bitters

Bitter as all hell and still tasty, but it's definitely a lot of campari and campari and maybe that's a little fernet or cynar and then more campari

I like this drink. I have tried bringing the gin up to an ounce and basically doing 1 ounce each of the campari, gin, and vermouth. I have kept the other ingredients at .25 ounce. These ratios help keep the campari from overwhelming the drink for me. Great recipe and love this site!

Another connection to Eeyore would be that his favourite food was thistles. Cynar is named for the artichoke, which is a form of thistle and member of the Cynara genus. Maybe Eeyore would have enjoyed an artichoke now and again. A great cocktail, one of the few with a 9 on our spreadsheet........

A lot of measuring, but well worth the effort. This is a perfect aperitif. Very bittersweet. Went perfect with raw vegetables and a nice sharp cheddar.

I am not a fan of 6-ingredient cocktails (but at 7.5ml per cocktail, it take a while to get through bottles of Cynar and Fernet!) but this one is worth the effort as it is a really nice balance of all those ingredients.
