  • For me, the Campari overran the other ingredients. A bit of a metallic taste. Comte de Sureau (Morgenthaller) is a more accessible drink in the same vein.
  • Fabulous. — ★★★★

Comments

I don't think I've ever had another drink that brought out the "grapey-ness" of sweet vermouth so amazingly. Insanely delicious against the bitter Campari. I'm guessing the cachaca is is doing something to showcase the other flavors. 5/5.
