Alternate Player

1 oz Rye, Rittenhouse 100
1 oz Aveze (or other Gentian liqueur)
1 oz Pedro Ximénez Sherry
Instructions

Stir briefly with ice, strain, garnish with an orange peel if desired.

Notes

Sweet sherry grape and bitter gentian blend together, with rye spice giving the drink backbone. Substituting Suze or Salers for the Aveze may require a bit more sweetness.

Count ITP

1 oz Gin
1 oz Dry vermouth
2⁄3 oz Cynar
2 t Campari
1 twst Lemon peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir the ingredients in an Old Fashioned glass full of ice. Garnish with a lemon twist.

History

Born to celebrate the (hypothesized) centenary of the original Negroni, but truly inspired by the Cardinal. The drink will be offered to the spectators of the "ITP for Negroni" concert by the punk band "ITP" (June 2019, in Lucca).
I take this opportunity to explain how I make the cocktails dedicated to the band: when I let them taste the musicians, for the drummer they are always all very good; the bass player always finds something wrong (and proposes unlikely variants); the guitarist always seems too sweet: so the only way is to do something bitter and ignore the bass player ...

History

In the Middle Ages the Longbards conquered a duchy in Southern Italy, including the city of Benevento and part of the Campania coast; from the first comes the "Strega" liqueur, from the second the"Limoncello". Swedish vodka alludes to the mythical Scandinavian origins of the Longbards. And Campari ... Well Milan was an important Longobard city ...
