Twist the Lion’s Tail: 2 oz Bourbon, 1/2 oz Allspice Dram, 1/2 oz Averna Amaro, 1/2 oz Lemon Juice. Shaken with ice. Added a dried Orange slice. Spicy, autumnal, not as sour and didn’t need the sugar syrup.

The full 1/2 oz of lime was too sour for my taste. Next time I’ll cut that by half. I like the bourbon - allspice - angostura blend.

I’m not a big Campari fan so I subbed Nonnino Amaro and it was fantastic. I would guess the flavor profile changes a lot with the bitter Campari.

We love making it with Averna. Not as prettily orange, but very delicious and a bit more robust.
