Please can someone give me some advice. I don't have Amaro Nonino, but I do have Amaro Montenegro and Amaro Averna. Which one would be better as a substitute in this cocktail?
Hey James, I guess you've already figured it out. But for other people perhaps: When I bought a Nonino, I thought it's not so far from Averna's cola-caramel-orange profile, but weaker, more delicate in flavour. My take would be to sub it with Averna, but 1:1 with neutral alcohol like vodka or neutral rum (grappa would be the best actually) to dilute it and bump up the abv to Nonino's 35% (70 proof). Hope it helps.
