  • Loved it! Used Amaro Lucano. — ★★★★★
  • Strawberry and Mezcal are strong enough that other ingredients get lost. Tastes like smoky strawberries.

I am interested to try but don't have (and can't find) Amaro Abano.  Any substitutions recommended? I have other Amaris

 


Robbyfresh commented on 2/05/2017:

Abano has a fairly unique black pepper flavor. I think you could sub something like Averna or even Cynar, but it will be a different drink.

  • Nice way to feature the pear. A bit too sour - try with scant lime. No fresh mint so I subbed with mint bitters which complimented chartreuse.
  • Better with about 0.25 oz simple - 3/5 with that add.
  • Similar to, but better, than the California Widow.

The-Cat-and-Lizard commented on 8/24/2022:

This seems to very limey to us; the lime took over, and the pear liqueur and chartreuse were lost in the mix. We aren't going to mess with the proportions, will just cross this one off the list.
