Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I drink very little, but I enjoyed this drink. The recipe suggests that one can vary this with other gateway amaros -- this might work well at a tasting party.

    Not my favorite recipe from this book. The Averna tasted really medicinal to me in this application. If I’m drinking something this boozy, give me a regular old Manhattan!

    A favourite. Just like the classic it derives from you can endlessly tweak ingredients for different results. I’ve made with rye (which I believe is the original recipe, though this book calls for bourbon), a variety of different bourbons, or a split base. I’ve increased the bitters or omitted the orange bitters or modified further with chocolate bitters. Made here to spec with Woodfords for a bittersweet, smooth, deep and rich drink, with a bitter orange peel and chocolate finish.
