Brooklyn Heights

Bittersweet with rye whiskey's assertive spirituous spice, this is an aperitivo for those occasions when the pre-dinner drink needs to be a sharpener

I liked this cocktail but used half the amount of Maraschino in it, because it seemed like it would have been too sweet for my tastes with the full 15ml.

It's similar to a Bensonhurst, which we LOVE, but slightly smoother, due to the Meletti, vs. Cynar in the Bensonhurst. Also, this drink has less vermouth in it, so it is a stronger drink than the Bensonhurst.

I will be making this again.

By the way, Simon, I have tried Abano, and wasn't that impressed by it. I very much prefer Campari.

Thanks for your notes. Good to know re Abano, but in the recipe above I used Meletti amaro in place of Abano. Campari is part of the original recipe.
