It's perfect for that! Try mixing Bitter Bianco in small amounts with Luxardo Sangue Morlacco and adding to just about any spirit. Instant delicious cocktail

Thanks Simon!

I'm wondering why most margarita recipes call for reposado tequila but this one specifies blanco.

I am partial to blanco myself for most tequila cocktails, but would this one be terrible with repo?

Your color was different because the recipe calls for cantaloupe but the photo shows honeydew melon.

Both would taste great, I'm sure, but honeydew makes more sense paired with the green melon liqueur, in terms of color as well as flavor.

This will definitely go into my rotation! Excellent cocktail that (if balanced well) enhances the scotch. The mark of a true classic.

I also split the base between a blend (Monkey Shoulder) and peated blend (Peat Monster) because the Compass Box smokiness can be overpowering.

On my second round I upped the Nonino and Benedictine slightly. Don't do that. The recipe is well balanced as it is written, IMO.

Probably my favorite of the "Manhattan Family" cocktails.
