A six bottle cocktail that is 100% worth it!
This deep ruby red drink is an alluring stirred combination of delicious intense flavors, featuring several back-shelf bottles that have a reputation as "bartender picks." Sure everyone knows Campari, but when was the last time you had a cocktail with Fernet Branca, Bourbon, two additional Amaros, Campari, and an absinthe rinse?
Whether you're looking for the best bourbon cocktail recipe (this could be it!) or how to make a cocktail with amaro, or just figuring out how to make a completely maximalist, spirit-forward cocktail, this recipe is a winner.
Sweet, sour, bitter, tons of spice, botanicals and aromatics. Get to your home bar and get to it!
