I quite like this. Was looking for something with Campari but didn't have fresh vermouth. Love the modest addition of club soda that tickles the tongue. I used Averna and a few drops of lavender bitters for a bit more floral profile than my gin and amaro could provide.

I really enjoyed this with Salers and Amaro delle Terme. Definitely needs a large ice cube as it gets far too tame when diluted. I would actually think it would be more enjoyable up in a Nick and Nora.

Beautifully complex. I had to sub 1/3oz campari, and 1/3oz ginger liquor, and I did 1oz canned pineapple juice as mine wasn't very flavorful. I'm shocked how well everything works together.

This is a really nice balance of flavors. Not overpoweringly smokey, just enough sweetness, and a little floral pop from the elderflower. This has made my shortlist!

I wish there was a little more volume in the final pour as the wash line is a bit low on my nick and nora, but I'm hesitant to adjust the recipe for as it stands is nicely balanced. Surprised at how nicely the absinthe plays in this.
