  • Very boozy with my high-proof amer, though not harsh.
  • Doesn't work for me (used 'real' Amer Picon). It seemed unbalanced; too much alcohol burn and the maraschino dominates.
  • Excellent. Use a very bitter homemade Amer Boudreau, which at 1 oz, contributes strongly — ★★★★

Made this (or something like it) using 1 oz CioCiaro + 1/4 oz Campari for bitterness in place of the Amer Picon.  Not sure how it compares to the true Boudreau version, but quite tasty.
