1 oz Sweet vermouth
3⁄4 oz Triple sec, Cointreau
3⁄4 oz Bitters, Angostura

Notes

The original version calls for equal parts, but a little extra sweet vermouth tames the spiciness of the bitters (per Serious Eats; see link).

Excellent -- letting the angostura take center stage gives a delicious clove top note.

  • The sherry comes through. I always think I should like sherry, but I rarely do. I used Lustau Manzanilla and Ford’s gin. Paired well with a cheese plate. This one is for patio afternoons and charcuterie boards.
  • Enjoyed it because I like Cynar, but while the amaro steals the show, the sherry gets a bit lost. 3.5 stars. — ★★★
  • Extremely bitter!
