Curated this slightly. In a 9 oz glass full of ice, you're liable to get 5-6 oz of Chinotto in the glass. We try to be precise with volumes, avoiding "top with" as an instruction, as glass size varies pretty wildly.

Thanks,

Zachary

I used Cruzan single barrel and Lemonhart 80 proof. This came out syrupy sweet, so I'd suggest starting with with half the falernum and ginger liqueur quantities and adjusting from there.

  • Tried it with Dubonnet in place of the sweet vermouth. No discernible change (to my obtuse palate). Works with Punt e Mes, and with a cherry garnish.
