What kind of amaro would you suggest for this?

laerm commented on 12/28/2019:

Pretty good, but a cocktail named after Bernard Black really should be a lot more bitter.

1⁄2 oz Lemon juice
1 t Apricot jam

Rio Grande (1937)

1 oz Reposado Tequila, Espolon
1 oz Old Tom Gin, Hayman's
1 oz Sweet vermouth, Cinzano Rosso
3 ds Chocolate bitters
1 Orange peel
Instructions

Stir with ice for 30 seconds, strain into chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass, garnish with orange peel

Notes

The chocolate bitters and orange peel are additions by Frank Caiafa. He uses a housemade cocoa bitters (2 parts housemade citrus bitters or Regan's Orange Bitters to 1 part cacao nibs, infused for 3 weeks) and recommends Fee Bros. Aztec Chocolate Bitters as a substitute. I used 2 dashes Scrappy's Chocolate Bitters and 1 dash Regan's Orange Bitters.

  • Used 1 oz Espolpon reposado tequila, 1.25 oz Hayman Old Tom gin, 1 oz Contratto bianco vermouth, 1 dsh Regan's orange bitters, and 2 dsh Fee Bros Aztec chocolate bitters. Also expressed orange peel. Light but complex. Rate: 4.0
  • Nice combo of the reposado and bitters. I like it. Perhaps it could be improved a bit by adjusting the Old Tom?
  • Made with Lunazul, Dolin, Scrappys/Regans. Some nice floral tones but also an almost fernet-like medicinal quality.

Pangolindo commented on 5/17/2020:

Very nice. I just muddled bergamot and lemon peel with homemade pear liqueur. 1/3 pear instead of 1/4. A tad sweet but spices from aquavit balanced the whole thing. I added 1 drop eachpeach and  bittermens winter melon.

5 stars.

Debole & Tallawah

1 oz Overproof rum, Wray & Nephew
1 oz Contratto Aperitif
2 oz Bitter lemon soda
1 bsp Herbal liqueur, Pernod
1 sli Orange
Instructions

Muddle a thin slice of orange with the Pernod in a rocks glass. Add the rest, stir, and then add a large cube/sphere of ice.

Notes

Not nearly as strong as you'd think it would be, both in power and flavor. Feel free to swap Aperol or any other low ABV aperitivo for the Contratto (stuff in the Campari range will not work).

History

The name is Italian and Jamaican patois for Weak & Strong. I speak neither language; feel free to correct me if some of that feels off to you.
