My new favourite! Great example of a drink where the various ingredients make a better totality than any one on their own. Just the right strength, (I stirred 25 secs on large ice cubes) just the right sweetness for a great attack and just the right bitterness to want more. A negroni with six ingredients instead of three. :-D

Absolutely great Rum/lime cocktail variation. (I never get tired of them) Used Smith&Cross, Montenegro and Taylors Velvet Falernum. Perhaps unorthodox I skipped the crushed ice and served it on the shaken ice. Good enough for me. :-)

I just opened my new bottle of Vermouth, a Chazalettes. Turned out almost wine-like, very little vermouth in that vermouth. So I guess this discussion about ratios completely depends on which vermouth you choose. Unfortunately Dolin is not available here.

Is the Aperol switched to Select? I thought it was Aperol. No matter, I happen to have also Select at home.
Any thoughts on the choice of bitter sweet?

I have now twice added 10 ml of Triple sec and I think this drink gets even better. I have even tried the original at a world top-50 bar! I know it is a sacrilege to alter a classic drink like this. But the lemon/lime/orange water/vanilla-mix just loves triple sec in my opinion.

I thought the Campari dominated a bit, so halved it and took equal amounts of Montenegro. It was awesome!!
30 ml rye
30 ml mancino bianco
15 ml Campari
15 ml Amaro Montenegro

Intercooler

There is an alternative recipe for an Intercooler though, pronounced Intercoolar and made famous on Swedish Island of Gotland in the early 90-ies. Equal parts Fanta lemon and 36% vodka (Brännvin special) and Isostar sports drink (isotonic) powder. Zero garnish.
