  • Not sure what to think about this. It's ok...it's a solid 3. Maybe try with different gin. Used Sage which can overpower some.

Satan's Circus

2 oz Rye
1 oz Campari (Bird Chili Infused)
3⁄4 oz Lemon juice
3⁄4 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
Notes

The original calls for .75 ounces of chili-infused Campari, but increasing the amount of Campari to 1 or 1.25 ounces balances the Cherry Heering and adds more spice.

  • Appreciate that this tastes boozy without being super strong. I used regular strength (Conniption) gin to further make it a 'session cocktail'.

Subbed averna for nardini as I don't have it. Interesting but a little too sweet for me. Like an Italian candy bar. 

Shawn C commented on 11/17/2022:

3 to 3.5 but I can't go 4. Flavorful presentation of Nardini; although a bit sweet and with a small volume. I don't think the small ratio of gin to amaro's etc. works well in this drink. Perhaps double the gin to 1 oz. (navy strength or standard dry gin) to tone down the sweetness.

  • Orange juice then menthol tastes. Not a bad option if looking for a Fernet showcase. — ★★★

  • Eh. Lacking something—maybe the 17th Century cocktail will suit my tastes better. NB: made it without nutmeg, which might make a difference, and went light on the bitters, which probably hurt.

Don't make this with Kappa pisco. It tastes like soap.

drinkingandthinking commented on 5/28/2021:

Made with Macchu pisco and Muz. Not too sweet and not too bitter, just right! Might add more pisco though.
