Have been doing lots of experimentation last couple of weeks with all components, returning to the idea that the classics are that way for a reason. Otoh Campari simply too bitter for some eg my partner, so substitute as appropriate to individual tastes. Cynar is excellent as an amaro, also Monténégro and Averna, but whatever your preference. Gin is also the classic base spirit for a reason. It works! Whiskey also works, especially rye.

I have a bottle of punt e mes at home and tried around with it in negronis a lot but subbing ramazotti for the campari with a "heavy" vermouth like punt e mes seems kinda excessive tbh. will try tho. Btw found that punt e mes, gin and aperol makes a nice gentle negroni variation but I haven't settled on specs yet. (equal parts doesnt really work here lol)
