Never a travesty, it’s just a riff. Credit to Sam Ross for the original, I find that it’s a great pleaser for all palates. Enough booze, citrus, bitter and sweet to make everyone I serve it to happy. Riffs like this are what keeps the industry exciting, but the blend of flavors don’t always have the same appeal. I will give this cocktail a try with the Averna sub.
To be honest when I first try it I hadn't nonino available and used Averna. I loved it. Then I try it with nonino and it was so - so . For me it totally needs to tone down the lemon by at least 5ml if one use Nonino.
