Comments

I don't understand the note, that it works with "dry vermouth in place of the Cocchi," since Cocchi is not a listed ingredient.  Do you mean substituting the Cocchi for Campari, and then substituting dry vermouth for it?

The note referred to a previous version of the drink; I've deleted it now, thanks.

Thank you for the clarification.  I enjoyed one of these last night.  Looking for something to do with a bottle of Bonal.  But the Campari and Cassis seem to dominate.
