A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Montreux

Created and posted by Shawn C.
2 oz Bourbon, Bulleit
3⁄4 oz Amaro, Pasubio
1⁄4 oz Amaro, Cappelletti Sfumato Rabarbaro
1 ds Orange bitters, Regans' orange bitters
Instructions

Add ingredients to mixing glass with ice, stir. Strain into Nick & Nora glass.

Notes

A fusion of the musty blueberry of Pasubio, and the smokey tart of the rabarbaro provides a balanced drink with a middle of the road bourbon. For me, this works.

History

I am digging Pasubio. Combining its earthy/musty blueberry with the smokey
Sfumato Rabarbaro makes sense in measured ratios. The name is a reference to Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water" referring to a hotel fire in Montreux, Switzerland that inspired the song.

Amari & bitter friends: an update

Prior to The Great Site Update of Christmas 2014, we published a list of amari hidden under a link on the recommended brands page. We have put some time and thought into our bitter friends, and have split the list into our top dozen or so recommendations, plus a list of other amari that are available.

Some amari are easy to find; others ... not so much. There are hundreds of amari that aren't even imported to the US. Look for amari at larger liquor stores, or specialty stores in the Italian section of your city.
