  • Works equally well with Punt e Mes.
  • Can try with Campari too
  • As usual, I prefer Rittenhouse Rye and Leopold Maraschino & this is how I made and rated. But original ingredients are listed. Noted as an authentic recipe, though it came from someone else's guess as to ratios.

A bit too sweet for me. If I make it again I might sub Campari for the Aperol or Punt e Mes for the Antica.

Agree it’s a bit too sweet. Previous commenter had some good ideas re: subs.

Big rye fan here, but I'm thinking 2 oz might allow the other ingredients to shine through.

Punt e Mes in the equation is pretty much Eastern Standard's Prospect Park which is a mighty fine drink.
