  • Split the base with bonded bourbon since I ran out of cognac; subbed Gran Classico. Very floral, some candied nuttiness (like those maple nut candies) in there, rather liked it!

Comments

I dialed back the Campari for my husband, who is not a huge fan, and amped up each vermouth a bit so that there were equal parts Campari- dry-sweet. Still a strong Campari presence, but more pleasing to my particular crowd.
