It might not taste of "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens" but after this cocktail you won't feel so bad. It is a delicious aperitivo or digestivo
Definitely improved as it warmed and diluted a little. Reminiscent (unsurprisingly) of a rye boulevardier. Well balanced with some really lovely notes from the Chinato.
This is a wonderfully balanced cocktail that's just the perfect amalgam of sweet, bitter, fruity, and herbal. Rich and round too, without being cloying or heavy. A new favourite!
This is a great cocktail!
Maybe my (new) favourite thing, lol. The components are all identifiable in the final product, but contribute to each other nicely.
First time I did not have chinato so used regular (Guerra) sweet vermouth, and may just prefer that version - bit more fruity, in a good way.
