Six Cylinder
A bittersweet Negroni-like aperitivo or digestivo with pleasing, subtle, rich cherry notes. This cocktail runs so much better on high-octane Navy strength...

Fabulous! Found the bitterness from the Campari, Byrrh, and the vermouths effectively balanced the cherry sweet center from Luxardo's Cherry Sangue Morlacco. And just enough gin. Wouldn't change a thing.♡

Agree that Byrrh works well in this and that the full complement of Campari is appropriate given the number of other sweet ingredients. A touch more gin if you don't have "Navy strength." I also agree on your assessment (below) of the Complex Tipperary.

Yes, added more gin. Is there a 'navy strength' you recommend?

Revisiting this one Calvin, and very much agree. I may have ‘accidentally’ added some juice from the cherry jar, but then needed a splash more gin to dry it. The full Campari measure adds really nice bitterness to balance the glass.

We do like our bittersweet drinks eh? Speaking of which, I need a bottle of Fernet. You like that stuff?
