A vintage French riff on a Negroni. This cocktail is perhaps better, certainly easier drinking when served on-the-rocks

My controversial take on cocktails is that a lot of stirred drinks could benefit from a dash of lemon juice (or any acidity for that matter). I haven't tried your suggestion yet but wholeheartedly support it.

Not controversial with me—. especially concerning drinks with Amaros. Simplest example—Averna with Carbonated water vs the same with lemon.
