Made it exactly to recipe---Hayman's, Antica, Fernet---except used Nonino Amaro since I don't have Lucano. Not surprisingly, just 5 ml of Fernet obliterates the contributions of all other ingredients in the drink, including the pricey Nonino. There might be a complex cocktail hiding in there, but I can't taste it above all that minty Fernet Branca. I'm going to put Fernet in a dripper bottle and use it like bitters from now on, a few drops or at most a dash at a time. Glad I only have a split.

Hi. Any proposal what amaro could sub for the Lucano? Might Averna be an option? Cheers Andreas
