So this is a twist on the Boulevardier.
1oz rye
1oz Antica sweet vermouth (I don’t think regular sweet vermouth will be quite right)
1oz cherry amaro (instead of campari)
Dash of chocolate bitters
Home made maraschino cherry
Expressed orange peel
The vanilla in Antica really sets off the cherry in the amaro and the chocolate bitters.
Might try with coffee rum next and see if that really makes the chocolate shine.
I don’t like it straight like the other amaro I have. It’s not as smooth as the ones you probably like and drink straight. If you give me a moment I could cleanse my palate and have taste. But it’s cherry, sweet and bitter.
Its very good as a mixer amaro.
I really like this cocktail:
1oz rye
3/4oz amaro your choice
Lemon twist
