Very good with ramazotti,  dolin, and Chartreuse rinse 

Cara A commented on 11/13/2021:

Very nice - a complex balance of bitter & sweet; didn’t have Averna so I used Amer Boudreau.

Much better than a Red Hook - I used Cocchi di Torino which was a bit too dominant and sweet so next time I'll dial it back a bit.

Made with Bulleit, Carpano Antica, Rosen Bitter, and Montenegro. Very good - though the long list of ingredients and the odd measurements are a bit of a hassle!

WOW !! I am definitely liking this one !! The more ingredients, the better !! Lots and Lots of room for slight variations of this and that and something else in order to bring subtle changes to the overall flavor signature to make happy the individual palate. Simple, complex, and so filled with opportunity !!
