Make sure salt mostly dissolves before adding ice. Orange peel garnish optional.
Salt Solution works fine too.
- Half portions, Maker's or Woodford work well, 101 Wild Turkey not so much. No more than 10 grains of salt
- Made as 1/2 portion; used Tuaca for Licor 43. Made with Nocino, not Nocello
- Cherry Almond Gallette — Bourbon, Cynar, Cherry Liqueur, Bitters, Orgeat
- Sex Panther — Bourbon, Cynar, Virgin Islands Rum, Bitters, Demerara syrup, Orange peel
- Boo Radley — Bourbon, Cynar, Cherry Liqueur, Orange peel, Lemon peel
- Bitter Branch — Rye, Cynar, Nocino, Salt Solution, Orange peel
- Easy Speak — Bourbon, Cynar, Chocolate bitters, Bitters, Simple syrup, Lemon peel
Curated this: removed "Herb liqueur" as a brand of Cynar. Changed Nocelli to Walnut liqueur as the ingredient of Nocello.
Thanks,

Curious whether this is intended to be Nocello or Nocino; Nocello is a walnut and hazelnut liqueur; Nocino is just walnut. I've learned the hard way that I rarely like the flavor of hazelnut in cocktails (looking at you, dusty small bottle of Frangelico) so I made this with Nocino and enjoyed it. (As a half portion.)
A few slightly odd things about this one. For starters, it's huge. The amounts as written will comfortably yield two drinks. To my taste the salt is a bad idea. It gives an artificial sweet (and salty) taste that I didn't like at all - we had it last night as written and tonight with no salt, and tonight's is much better. And I tried with and without the orange; the orange is an improvement. Without the salt I'll give it a 4.
