  • Simple and delicious! Good use of pisco. I added a dash of orange flower water for an extra bit of scent. Heaven! *Update* 2 pisco, 3/4 St. Germaine, 1/2 lemon. Even better! — ★★★★★

Now there's a nabe that doesn't deserve a Brooklyn riff. 

(Cf. Williamsburg. May that stretch of transplanted Times Square never have a drink to call its own.)

Aisy Uchanan

1 oz Gin
1 oz Cynar
1 oz Rosato Vermouth, Atsby Armadillo Cake
Instructions

Stir and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with an orange twist.

Notes

Atsby is an artisanal vermouth company, and Armadillo Cake is its dry alternative to Italian vermouth - herbal, piney, winey, complex. This is a Negroni variation, using Cynar instead of Campari, and Atsby in lieu of sweet vermouth. I feel it lacks a bass note, so recommendations are welcome.
