I tried following the recipe but the blended mix was so dense that it immediately clogged the fine mesh. I tried pouring it back and forth + washing the mesh between pours bit I don't think this is how it is supposed to be.

I wasn’t a bit fan of spritz drinks until I visited Italy, now I am. This is very similar to Spritz Aperol, however it is less sweet and more bitter (as expected). A good light summer aperitif for Campari aficionado.

I love beer cocktails. But I've been postponing trying this one expecting to be disappointed.

I was not disappointed at all! This one is surprisingly good, when Guinness and brut sparkling wine complimenting each other. FYI: I used extra stout Guinness.

Amazing summer drink.

Final test really depends on whiskey.
Buffalo trace — soft
Four roses single barrel — spicy
Angels envy — fruity with nice aftertaste

Did this without the ice cream, used couple glass, dipped rim into liquid chocolate and added shaved chocolate on top. Basically, a liquid cake with vodka.
Pretty desert as a boozy desert.

My favorite riff on Negroni. Choosing the bourbon wisely provides lots of flexibility, its flavor will define the drink. While I love spicy ones I'd choose a bit more gentle for this one, paired with Carpano Antica Formula. Or go with spicy or even rye + martini and rossi.

I made two variations. One original (with rye whiskey foundation ) and one per this recipe (with bourbon as foundation). Definitely prefer the original recipe — spiciness of rye mixes well with sweetness and herbal notes of other ingredients. Bourbon version was too sweet.
