I used Carpano Dry vermouth to stay with the Italian theme, and the drink is just fantastic! The Amaretto is balanced nicely with the Campari. A spritz of orange to top it off. Amabile!
I disagree about too sweet (might the other reviewer have used sweet vermouth?)
Amaretto is a bit of a thug (see also Frangelico) overpowering drinks, and initial hit is all Amaretto, but the bitter Cynar came through.
Interesting, enjoyable, but not a Favourite.
"A bit weird" says Mrs Jones.
On first dates, stick to Old Fashioned, Negroni or Tequila Espresso Martini.
Just had this again with Saliza, Punt et Mes, and Campari.
Superb again.
Quite Amaretto-forward, but it becomes rounded out and complex.
A real treat after a weekend away bringing all the family together. Some me-time.
