I originally found this drink in Sother Teague's book. I have made it with both Nonino and Montenegro in lieu of Meletti. I have found that Montenegro works exceptionally well with Bonal. This is a drink with a fair amount of depth and subtlety, and choice of gin will probably make the most impact. The gin and rye are brought together nicely by the Bonal. An excellent drink.

I have yet to be led astray by Anders. Whether it's his original creations or his specs for existing cocktails, they've always been spot on for my tastes.

This is indeed a good way to drink Bonal. It is brighter, and the tequila works really well as an accent. I will have to try Calvin's switched up specs next!

I personally double strain after shaking, but in the case you're describing with unusual amounts of pulp, I might fine strain first instead.
