  • Excellent and complex drink. I made this with chocolate bitters + mezcal. I personally also prefer subbing Gran Classico for Campari.

This is a brilliant drink, one of my all-time favorites when it's made well.

FWIW, I'm not sure about the Peychauds bitters. The Northstar Cocktails book has it listed as orange bitters, and that's how it's always been made whenever I've had it at Marvel.

Curated this slightly - added source citation, changed Peychaud's bitters to orange bitters.  Thanks,  Zachary

It tastes good, but it is Campari dominant to the extent I was weighing the pros and cons of drinking straight Campari. Admittedly there are obvious differences, but I don't believe it merits the effort.
