  • Prefer less maple than recommended. Swapping Amaro Nonino for Montenegro is definitely a better choice
  • Negroni variant
  • Really nice Negroni riff! — ★★★★
  • I ran across Piers Knight's "Amaro Paisano" but lacked the coke to make it (imagine that!) so I decided to try the original that it was based on and decided it was worthy of including here.
