Hi Karl. This cocktail is made with Adriatico Bianco, white almond milk amaretto that's quite unique and different from dark amarettos such as Adriatico Amaretto.
Welp, that's my misreading of the recipe 🤦♂️ Still, what I ended up making was pretty good!
Since I can't get a hold of Adriatico amaretto, I added a few drops of saline. I also added two dashes of Fee Brothers Foam. If you like a Godfather, this is a neat alternative: serve dirty (with the shaken ice) in an old fashioned glass with fresh ice.
The citrus forward New Amsterdam gin (it's what I had open on hand) works surprisingly well with Mr. Black. I tend not to like citrus notes in my coffee, but as an iced cocktail it's quite satisfying. The New Amsterdam adds just a touch of herbal notes. Looking forward to trying this with Goldie's Gin
