I think this one may have to grow on me. I've tried a few times and like it a little more each time. I am not a huge fan of dry vermouth and whiskey so maybe that's the problem. Used China-China as a sub for Amer Picon.

Just subbed in about an 1/8 oz Fernet for the Amer Picon and it's quite tasty

Very good and very interesting cocktail. You can definitely taste the rye and the slight peppery rye flavours. When first made it was a bit sweet, but still very enjoyable. However, as it sat the sweetness softened and the herbal and bitter flavours came forward What a wonderful play of tastes as you consume the cocktail.

Torani Amer is a good sub for Picon if you live in the US. The makers claim it was directly inspired by the French aperitif. I've never tried Amer Picon, but I do know a Brooklyn made with Torani is pretty great.

Made it Bourbon and omitted the water. Tip top and is a go too drink (since I now have a big bottle of Picon to get through)

Fantastic. Made with Difford's suggested Amer Picon sub (50:50 Dubbonet, Bigallet)

First Method

2 oz. Infused Redwood Empire Rye
five ozRamazzotti Amaro
1 Full Eyedropper Angostura Bitters
1/2 barspoon in luxardo
Add all elements in your copper, or glass yari. Add ice and stir for 20 seconds, stress into chilled coupe glass, or rocks glass and explicit lemon. The secret way to prepare F Train to Brooklyn drink,

Great recipe, but I believe you mean "five boroughs" rather than "five states" ;)
