The flavours blend together perfectly. It has a slightly spicy taste which is very interesting. We did not have the Punt E Mes, but substituted sweet vermouth and Luxardo Aperitivo. I would do this again as an aperitif or after-dinner drink.

I'd suggest Cynar with the sweet vermouth.

This is a lower ABV version of The Slope, which has a heftier base of rye.

So no wonder it worked so well with both, Bourbon and Rye.

Grabbed the Campari bottle by accident (#reddishliquid) which was nice. The right recipe with Aperol is far better though. Turns out to be a favourite of the wife AND the mother in law. What more can you expect?

I suggest to use a certain rum and name the drink "Rye 'n' Gosling".
