  • Works with Zucca subbing in for Cynar.
  • Good. I've seen other recipes (Difford's) for 1 2/3 silver cachaca, .5 vermouth and .5 cynar. I think I like that ratio better. Also have subbed in Ramazzotti with nice results - careful on that though, can be a tad sweet.

Comments

We went with 2oz cachaca, 1/2 each cynar, and sweet vermouth. Still too sweet for me, improved half way down by adding a drop of coffee bitters, a dash of angostura, and an ice cube. The bottom was subsequently delicious with the garnish marinating in it.
