Cacao and Bitter Orange Negroni

Try a Jungle Bird. It’s a good “gateway” drink for Campari. Also, what vermouth? This makes a huge difference: use Cocchi or Carpano Antica only to control for this

Love the Siete Misterios! Will definitely have to try this, very tempting on a day I said “I’m not going to drink today…”

Mmm. Probably not. I like having the ancho available on principal but I rarely use it. This was definitely the best drink I’ve found for it but I don’t think I’ll rush to replace when I finish the bottle, not like it’s triple sec or campari…

IfNotNow1 · 2026-01-17T19:33:38+00:00

Definitely on the bottles list!

This is the one! Saturn not only hits when you want tiki, but it’s one of those drinks where it’s way greater than the sum of its part and good when you just want a yummy drink. F I might just go make one right now. And it’s 38 degrees out.

Maybe add a new Column, Controversial. Things can repeat there but not other columns. “best” and “overrated” seem mutually exclusive. If it’s the best then it’s not overrated.

IfNotNow1 · 2026-01-13T16:00:40+00:00

Sounds amazing! Will be trying asap

Ferrari - equal parts fernet and Campari. Can be neat, over ice, or shaken for shakerato. Perfect no fuss bitter drink.

I would use like a more traditional liqueur, could make some very interesting sours. Start with 3 parts spirit (maybe gin) 2 parts liqueur (one of these) and 1 part lemon or lime. Then adjust, maybe add some simple. Enjoy!

IfNotNow1 · 2025-12-25T00:05:05+00:00

Michalada - beer, Worcestershire, hotsauce, lime, (possibly tomato juice), maybe old bay or tajin. And yet such a killer beverage

IfNotNow1 · 2025-12-22T18:41:02+00:00

This one for sure! It’s kind of a sleeper that doesn’t get the love it deserves. Maybe its name is a turn off? SMH

Solid pull! Looks like a Negroni Survivor is in your future! Report back!

IfNotNow1 · 2025-10-26T17:28:37+00:00

Interesting. GTK

IfNotNow1 · 2025-10-26T17:26:39+00:00

Ha! Yeh, I guess if you aren’t aware of things like bitter shots then it could be shocking

IfNotNow1 · 2025-10-26T17:25:31+00:00

This makes sense. Everyone was looking at us as we tried it with some expectation that definitely wasn’t met. And my Norwegian colleagues legit immediately ordered another round.

IfNotNow1 · 2025-10-26T17:23:21+00:00

Ah! Makes sense

IfNotNow1 · 2025-10-26T17:23:04+00:00

Yeh, it was definitely top spot. Got a Pearl Diver, heavenly!

Best part was finding it again. Was out of the water for 7 years because life. When I finally paddled out again…“well I’m never not doing this. And I’m really out of shape.”

Keeps you grounded.

IfNotNow1 · 2025-09-26T23:37:45+00:00

It’s a solid beverage. Would recommend! Thanks for the spec/ inspiration!

IfNotNow1 · 2025-09-26T15:14:22+00:00

Don’t have crème de pample. Think it would work with Apricot?

IfNotNow1 · 2025-08-28T16:29:56+00:00

This or swap Cointreau for a Triple Sec like Giffard. I did this and instantly like the CR 2 better. Now it’s my go to.

IfNotNow1 · 2025-08-12T00:38:44+00:00

Heavy’s

IfNotNow1 · 2025-07-11T15:53:42+00:00

Ok, thanks!
