Very tasty! I kept the syrup at 5ml and went with 30ml of creme de mure but still well within the spirit of your recipe. Thanks for sharing it!

I have the Redemption 95% straight rye that's only 92 proof, so I dropped it to a 2:1 ratio of rye to Martini Rosso. used Peychauds for bitters over Angostura. An absolute delightful drink.

I absolutely recommend trying the Redemption straight rye if you get a chance. Inexpensive, so taste to price point is excellent. https://www.diffordsguide.com/beer-wine-spirits/8097/redemption-rye-whiskey

This is delightful and delicious! The Galliano meshes with the vermouth flavor perfectly and enhances the bourbon. I do the sacrilegious thing of putting a big ice ball in my Manhattans and did the same with this one. It keeps the drink nice and cold while sipping and, in my opinion, dilutes the drink perfectly. Thanks for posting it, Simon and thanks to David for suggesting it in the first place!

I tried with the 2:1:1 and liked it better than at equal parts or 3:2:2 and can recommend it.

I do prefer a 1:1:1 Negroni over this for Campari use, and I prefer a Manhattan over this for bourbon + vermouth use, but will still make these occasionally as variety is the spice of life.

I wonder if doing a Chocolate Negroni with bourbon instead of gin would make the bourbon + campari combo truly shine? We shall find out later this week!
