Made this with Monte Amaro, Kentucky corn whiskey (50° proof), orange bitters, black walnut bitters (this last is an amazing chocolate/not chocolate ingredient). Loved it.
So it's sweet - is that a sin?

Braulio, Crown Royale, angostura orange bitters, one drop chocolate bitters. Very smooth and balanced sipper.

Looks pretty sweet as written so I tried “perfecting” it by replacing half of the Montenegro with dry vermouth di Torino. Used Stranahan’s cask strength Rocky Mountain single malt whiskey. Very good, and still plenty sweet.

I made this with (gulp) Nonino instead of Monte and orange bitters instead of orange peel. I skipped the cherry bc of the Nonino’s inherent sweetness. A delicious variant!

Question. Is there a way to switch back and forth on the ingredients between what you recommend/chose vs "my ingredients" without logging off and back on? For example, I have a variety of Bourbons/Whiskeys that I could have used here but was just curious as to what YOU went with. It seems to pick the same "my ingredient" to sub for your chosen ones.
Thanks

Used a high proof Rye Whiskey to counter a bit more of the Montenegro Amaro's sweetness. It was good. Still a touch sweet, so next time I may do 1.5 oz (45 ml) each of Amaro and Rye.

Kind of sweet- maybe less montenegro?
