I haven't had Bigallet, but perhaps Amaro Ramazzotti is available in your area. I suggest it because Ramazzotti is the basis for a recipe to make 'old' Amer Picon. I don't have a local source for contemporary Amer Picon either.
Yes thanks Werd. Love Ramazzotti. Haven't had it in a while. Perhaps it's time to get some. Cheers!
I used budget ingredients. Not bad. Quite good actually. Perhaps better than either individually. The lemon zest is essential. RIP Admiral Nelson.
Quite enjoyed this. Made with my new favorite blanco vermouth, Gran Bassano from the Veneto region, made with Vespaiolo white wine. Bacardi Carta Oro sufficed. Balanced. Just on the dry side. If I could only ever make fifty cocktails this might be one.♡
One of the best honey sweetened cocktails I have tried. Couldn't put it down. All the flavors were present and perfectly balanced. The Islay was a brilliant touch.
Lovely glass...compelling.
Wow. I just threw together a three equal parts with gin, tawny port, and Gran Classico with orange zest as that is what I had and called it a tawny negroni and then found and tried the Count. Full Stop. Fabulous. This one lives on the top of a hill and there is probably a tower. Count me all in. ☆☆☆☆☆♡
Yum...yum...yum! If you like Suze you're gunna love this one. I do. The genever's bready body is the perfect complement to all that gentian, the lime screams in perfect harmony with the rich maraschino. Another five. ♡
And a shout out to Takumi Watanabe : Thank You!

Very good drink, but for the second try we adjusted the recipe.
Found it a bit sweet for our tastes so we forgot the sugar syrup and substituted 1/2 the amount of Giffards Pamplemouse liquor. Added a bit more grapefruit flavour.
Used a Barbados gold as it has no adulterated sugar.
Added a few drops of Difford's Daiquiri Bitters.
Served over ice and it was PERFECT for our tastes.
Spirit forward and not too sweet.
Now this I've got to try. Pamplemouse is on the shopping list. Enjoying the Stade's Bond N°8, thanks. Don't know why I didn't add Difford's Daiquiri Bitters. Next time.
Was not impressed initially. Gradually the grapefruit integrated with the other flavors and voila, there it was. Marvelous. And plenty to enjoy!
Weeeee! Wow, if you can only have 1 cocktail in an evening, this is definitely a top 10 pick.
Perhaps a Papa Complet?
Noticing the comments about adding bitters, we did something else by adding just 2.5ml Fernet. Gives the drink a bit of welcome 'edge' for us.
Whoa I 'gotta try that. .There's certainly been some experimenting going on above.
This is quite delicious and well balanced, do try. Didn't have pimento bitters so I added two dashes of allspice dram and four drops lemon bitters. Smith & Cross, Myers's, and St. Elizabeth for the pimento dram paired to perfection!♡♡♡♡♡
Rum Fire, Myer's, Punt e Mes, Giffard Orgeat, Dale DeGroff's Pimento Bitters. Funky, fruity, boozy.
Now I'm on a quest to find that elusive birch water/birch sap in Seattle. An internet search is encouraging but it is a weekend. May perhaps need to order online. Meanwhile found a "work around" (substitution). BroVo Douglas Fir Liqueur for the birch water, reduced the rich syrup by half, and added half a spoon lime juice. Hate to be the first to comment on not the recipe but this was really good! The Douglas Fir pairs well with the Mastiha. Now I'm motivated to get the birchwater. (Makes good moonshine also).
Perfect and powerful! Ardbeg Ten held up it's end, indeed set the stage. Maraska provided enough richness to balance the profound flavors from it, the absinthe, all that Angostura, and the essential zest of the lemon. Merged harmoniously. Tiny sips from start to finish, so much to taste!
Been without an Islay for too long. Ardbeg Ten to the rescue! This is marvelous. Woodinville 100% Rye, Punt e Mes, Maraska.
The maraschino and absinthe impressively stand up against the Laphroig like Sitting Bull to Custer at the battle of Little Bighorn. Marvelous.
Hear that!
Excellent with Woodinville 100% Rye (90°, I added a spoon), Suze 20%, Oregon Spirit Absinthe. Great flavors.
Oh, and Peychaud's Barrel Aged Bitters...
Excellent with Woodinville 100% Rye (90°, I added a spoon), Suze 20%, Oregon Spirit Absinthe. Great flavors.
Just......Fabulous! ☆☆☆☆☆♡
Two weeks later...I am afraid of suze, of fernet, of absinthe. And I am very afraid of cinzano. But I cam here after the Eeyores Requiem. This is very sweet -contrast?- and really enyojable. Thing better the before version.
Greetings friend. Next time you're feeling brave check out Industry Sour. I just tried it. Suprisingly smooth!
Huevo non uro
I think I'll have a huevo in my next cocktail. Cheers!
A new favourite negroni! This really made my cocktail evening. Created a couple of years after the Cornwall negroni and a definite improvement by evolution of it, in my opinion. Better balanced and integrated. Will definitely be having again.
Garnish instructions seem contradictory lemon vs orange flamed twist? I was half way through doing lemon when noticed the orange. Lemon non-flamed actually worked better with the Tanq 10 that I was using.
Good one eh?
Well this one certainly has a prominent position in the negroni hierarchy. Lost a bit of gravitas towards the end from ice melt. Perhaps no ice in a coupe? ♡
