This drink is sometimes made with Bourbon. Whether you use rye or Bourbon, however, it's a tricky drink to balance. I avoid using 80-proof whiskies, as I want some backbone to balance the sweetness of the sweet vermouth and Campari. You also might try adding a scant barspoon of Maraschino liqueur. It plays well with the three main ingredients, and adds another layer of complexity, albeit a subtle one. Oh, and if you do add the Maraschino, try a lemon twist while you're at it. Cheers!
I really love this drink--essentially, it's a rye Negroni. I don't think it needs bitters, but I agree that an orange peel is a near essential addition.
Too much rye, not enough Negroni modeling. Keep it at the 1-1-1 ratio, just substitute gin w/rye (or Bourbon).
Is there any way to make this gluten free?
Use a 1-1-1 ratio, my favorite is to use Rittenhouse Rye-- it's nice and spicy. If you find it bitter, you can add a teeny pinch of salt and/or let dilution work its magic!
I usually put in 1.5, I use rye most often, if I don’t have an orange to peel, I use a dash of orange bitters. I change up the rye, the vermouth and I substitute Cappelletti Aperitivo for Campari sometimes, it’s a bit softer. The idea is it’s never completely set. I like to experiment.
