What is the bartender tip for a Cherry Amaretto Negroni?
Dan Fellows: 20 ml of each — gin, Campari, Punt e Mes, cherry liqueur, and amaretto. The 1 g of acid booster (~10 ml lemon) cuts the sweetness without clouding; with juice, you can shake instead of stir. Punt e Mes pulls cherry and cola; Martini Rosso covers it, but you lose the bitterness. Cherry Heering is the liqueur; cherry syrup and maraschino are a different drink. The almond is what ties the frangipane. It's not the classic Negroni (30/30/30, no liqueur), the Coffee Negroni, or the Amaretto Sour.
