  • This is a bit sweet. I bumped up the ramazzoti to almost a full ounce. I didn't have reposado, which would probably improve but used nice silver tequila.
  • strong tequila flavor against bulleit - maybe stronger bourbon — ★★★★
  • Use each part bourbon, tequila and ramazzotti (approximately 7/8th oz.
  • Bitter cola flavors. Tequila peeks out a little.
  • To Try
  • A bit sweet. Better with 1 oz Ramazzotti. Interesting as the tequila shines through. Worth retrying — ★★★

Terrific drink! This replaces the Manhattan for me. We had only Aperol, and the drink was fine, but we're off in search of Ramazzotti today.

Made with Tin Cup rye, La Gritona reposado, Golden Moon's Amer dit Picon, Cocchi Dopo Teatro, Boker's bitters, and Strong Water orange bitters. Like many Amer dit Picon drinks I had to add a splash of simple syrup, but I still couldn't love this one. Ramazzotti probably a much better bet
