I like it.  Not sure about the instruction to discard the peel - certainly with Rittenhouse 100 as the rye there's no need to be delicate!

  • This drink is exactly what it sounds like. in other words totally delicious. Despite the Navy strength gin I would not describe as super strong. So glad I tried this.
  • Delicious, good intro to Negroni — ★★★★★
  • Ok. Used Green Hat Navy Strength and Anitca Formula Vermouth. Served up....maybe better on the rocks?
  • Made with Ransom Old Tom as base, Cappelletti instead of Campari, and agave as sweetener (ran out of SS and too lazy at the moment to make more). Delicious.

  • Really lovely flavor, licorice from the absinthe and mint are nice on the nose. Did without the butterfly pea powder, but that would have brought it to the level.

  • Yes, probably can skip the simple. Mocha-like finish is the best part of this. A lemon twist would be in order here.

Dan commented on 5/12/2016:

The simple in this makes no sense to me. In a regular Toronto it is used because there is relatively little sugar in Fernet. But Cynar has lots of sugar. Might be better without added syrup.

I thought the same when I saw the recipe (though it's worth noting that the quantity of simple is cut down here). If I get around to some A/B testing I'll report back!

(This also seems like something I'd stir rather than shake.)

I find lemon juice overpowers more subtle flavors, so I dial it back to 1/2 ounce here. Tasty!

Curated this slightly - took the extraneous 'i' from Griotte. Added the club soda and estimated the amount. Thanks, Zachary
