  • Made with Lucano which probably isn't the right amaro, but with Laird's bonded, Cocchi VdT, and Tempus Fugit (and lemon twist), this is quite tasty. Strong Froot Loops on the nose. Sweet for sure but pleasant.
  • Note to self: don't limit to serving as a nightcap. 4.5 if I could.

Comments

Tasty, pleasant melange of flavors. Somewhat sweet, but expertly balanced by the bitter & fragrant alpine amaro. A somewhat smaller volume cocktail.
