  • less avave.
  • Darker, but light cocktail. Great for a summer evening.
  • Like a grown-up whiskey sour. 1/4 oz agave would be plenty, unless you like it sweet. Amaro sinks to bottom; may be better incorporated, rather than floated. Garnish is lovely. Used Wathen's bourbon. — ★★★★★

Subbed out a few things - got good results: used B&B rather than Benedictine and Agave. Swapped the Whiskey Bitters for Grapefruit bitters, and used Averna as the amaro of choice. Sipping delight.

This is a brilliant drink, 5/5 for me. I followed the previous suggestions and incorporated the CioCiaro into the drink and used .25 oz simple syrup since I had no agave. My lemon slices were pretty thick, and I couldn't resist adding a couple dashes of rhubarb bitters. I used Bulleit bourbon.

I agree with others, it needs less agave. The drink w/ 1/2 oz agave syrup is very sweet, not quite cloying, but close. Otherwise the flavor is good--I incorporated the CioCiaro into the shake since others noted that the float sank.
