  • served over a big rock, the ramazzotti integrated well in the background (not overly bitter for non-amaro fans) and the orange twist is key. tasted like a more interesting/complex old fashioned — ★★★★

Comments

This was very good.  I put half the amount of maple syrup in as I like to keep sweetness down, the whole amount would be fine (necessary) for folk who prefer more sweetness.  Also 1/2oz of Angostura bitters seemed like a lot, and maybe a typo?  I put in four dashes which was about 1/4 oz or less, so half the amount called for.
