I tried Montenegro.  I thought the Campari would overpower it, but it surprisingly came through.

I'm not sure why the ratings are so low on this one. It's not outstanding but definitely a good stirred drink option for anyone looking for something a little more adventurous.

  • Much better than expected. Allow time to strain -- it's pretty thick with all that muddling.
