Was concerned that sweet vermouth would overpower/mask the Irish whiskey & liqueur*, so I subbed Bianco**. To my taste, Cynar was a bit too forward so I subbed Nonino on my 2nd go at it. Adding a smidge of verjus brought it to life. Will use my riff as a template with other liqueurs***.
* Sexton, in my case
** Vittore, in my case
*** indeed, I used this as a template with Menaud Camerise. It's not terribly sweet, so I upped it to 3/4 oz to to bring the fruit forward. Cocktail was moreish :)
