I didn't have Cynar, but substituted Zucca Rabarbaro amaro. A complex cocktail that softened some as it warmed up. Based on the comment on pairing with cheddar, I tried it with a nice alpine cheese and nuts, and it was very good indeed. I'll definitely make again.

I have always liked the Reanimator (equal parts Amaro Nonino & Rye), so I used Amaro Nonino here along with Del Maguey Vida. I think the combination is great. I added a dash of orange bitters as suggested by another reviewer plus a grapefruit twist. Delicious.

What a difference a dash makes! I added a dash of chocolate bitters about 1/4 in to the drink and it added a much richer/fuller flavor. If I come back to this one, I will definitely include a dash of Peychaud's and a dash of chocolate bitters. A nice after dinner drink.

I love a Last Word, but I really liked the combination of whisky, Chartreuse, and lime flavors! I used a light blended Scotch instead of the Irish whiskey and dry vermouth instead of Cocchi. My version needed a bit more body (Cocchi would have taken care of that). A bit of Luxardo would have been a nice addition for me. I think it is time to get some Cocchi and try the proper recipe!
