  • Sub Lillet.
  • This is delicious! Nice work. Rosemary adds a nice touch. Vodka rarely ends up in my cocktails, but this is a keeper! I also tried with 2 dashes of chocolate bitters which is nice too.

Dan commented on 1/22/2019:

I lacked the courage to try this as a Negroni-format drink, so I used Manhattan-esque ratios: 2:1/2:1/2. Quite good. I might summon the fortitude to try it as written. I'm not a big mint fan, and too much Braulio comes across as Fernet-y to me. I bet this is great for Fernet lovers. Initial curator rating of 3 stars, subject to improvement with more trials.

Westhovsies commented on 2/15/2019:

Once I found the recipe for this, I adjusted from my original variation of 1 oz. Rye, 1 oz Cocchi Americano, 1 oz. Braulio, which Dan is referring to in his comment.
