Hi, Ron, yes, Campari is definitely an ingredient to match to your tastes. Upon reflection, I suppose the same could be said for most sweets and bitters. Thanks, and Happy Holidays to you, too.

I finally got aroud to playing with this. I’m using Carpano Antica Formula. Even at 1 oz I found the Campari overbearing. I’ve settled on about 1/3 oz as the sweet spot for me. This has become my go-to drink. Always look forward to the next Cold-Glass recipe and context. All the best and Happy Holidays.

Hi, Brian, sorry to be slow answering. Worse yet, I have no idea what that glass is, I picked it up long ago in an antique shop. It has no markings to guide me about its maker, alas!

That would work pretty well. This drink is way up my list of favorites. Thanks!

I find a ratio of 5:3:3 works best, using Rittenhouse, Martini Rosso and Campari. 2 /1/2 ounces Rye, 1 1/2 each of vermouth and campari, with ice. Slightly less Rye than your suggestion. Good year-round.

Interesting. Sort of a cross between Boulevardier and the Black Manhattan. Thanks for the idea.

However, that makes it a little overly bitter as a 1:1:1 drink, so I go with 1oz Bourbon or Rye (currently drinking one with Rittenhouse), 1oz Averna, 2/3 oz Campari. Orange twist to garnish.

I’ve never seen Luna Amara in my region, but I’ll be watching for it now. And I agree, the growing availability of amari is providing lots of new things to explore.

Campari has it’s place (blood orange + C = heaven) but for these more complex drinks an exploration onto the the new golden age of Amaris is worth the trip.

Thanks for a great post! Frankly I’m a little confused because I thought the Boulevardier could use Bourbon or Rye. Needless to say, I was wrong.

I’m looking forward to experimenting with the 1794.

Dunno. I think you just have to experiment to find out what’s right for you.

I found Fee Bros. chocolate mole bitters. Thanks!

Thanks for the insight. I have never seen a reference to which whiskeys were preferred by Parisians in the ’20s, nor that CC was so popular.

It’s used in pretty much everything else made in Paris during that era and substituting it with rye is the most popular tweak.
