Il fratello di mia moglie mi dice: "sono stato qua (dito sulla mappa) e ho bevuto un amaro buonissimo, però mi sono scordato di prenderne una bottiglia."
E chi è che alle 22 di lunedì ha telefonato al ristorante per chiedere come si chiama l'amaro e poi rintracciare i produttori e farsi spedire a casa 3 bottiglie?...

PINK RABBIT

¾ oz Campari
1¼ oz Amaro Montenegro
1¼ oz mezcal

Garnish: orange peel
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir. Strain over a large rock, express orange peel, and garnish.

Really lovely stir found on Frederic Yarm's blog (see link below). The first sip I found bracingly bitter, but I built in-glass and perhaps didn’t stir long enough. The next few sips gave way to the sweetness of the Montenegro. For the heavy pour of mezcal I found it rather subtle.

LET THERE BE BLOOD

¾ oz Campari
¾ oz Ancho Reyes chili liqueur
1½ oz rye whiskey

Glassware: Chilled coupe
Method: Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice, and stir. Strain into a chilled coupe and serve without garnish.

This one was a delight to drink! Strong rye notes give way to balanced bitter with a lingering heat from the generous pour of chili liqueur. And how about that action shot?? I was pretty thrilled with how it turned out.

An original by IG betteravecbourbon found by way of IG t1m_kirkland.

KENTUCKY MAI TAI

½ oz lemon juice
½ oz orgeat
½ oz peach liqueur
½ oz Cynar
1 oz bourbon
1 oz mezcal

Garnish: mint sprig, dehydrated pineapple
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with crushed ice and shake. Open pour, top with more crushed ice, and garnish.

I know what you're thinking, it's barely a Mai Tai.. but still, it has orgeat and packs a punch on a sunny afternoon 🤣 This version comes from Lui Fern's channel on IG, but when I searched around I found several variations. Original garnish calls for fresh pineapple chunk, Lui used dehydrated, but I had peaches around and felt it complemented the bourbon and peach liqueur. You do you!

@JamesK Montenegro still on sale. Only had two because the third was for you. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. #amaro

Sometimes vintage/antique finds come in stages. I found this unusual paddle and knew I wanted to make it into an amaro flight sampler. This meant searching for small, low glasses with a large foot. They aren't easy to find. Most of these type of glasses have a small foot. It's also hard to find them with unchipped rims.
Today I found the perfect set, in pristine condition. #amaro #cocktails #vintage #antique #flight #glass #wood
