Clarke provides the alternative ingredients for those who don't have access to Picon (or a good replica) or Bittermens mole bitters (which were not widely available at the time).

Verrrrrry interesting. Made with La Gritona tequila, Cocchi's Dopo Teatro, Amer dit Picon from Golden Moon, and homemade creme de cacao. Part of me thinks it's missing something....I almost want it to be a *bit* sweeter, which makes sense. The folks at Golden Moon told me they modeled their Amer after the original Amer Picon and is much less sweet than the current version. Either way, it's already very good.
