You might consider switching the Nonino for Montenegro rather than Cynar if you have that available. It's not that close either, but I think it might work well in this drink.

I happened to pop into a local store today to see if they had the nonino, they did and I tried this again (still 30c plus in LA (in October)), they are different, but both equally great. The Quintessentia is certainly much more nuanced, but after comparing the two, the Cynar isn't as overwhelming as it could have been. The Cynar version is a bit more bitter, but not unbalanced, just different. Still used the fennel bitters, which I still think is very fitting for this drink (which says a lot, since I'm not a big fan of fennel). Definitely my drink for the season, if only I could get some weather to match.

I might have to try this fennel bitters version, it sounds intriguing. That said, even here in Virginia it's 75F.
