I’m always partial to cocktails that combine gin and Amaro, so when I saw this recipe online, I knew I had to try it. Originally created by @thereforesamiam, it calls for optional simple syrup which I chose not to add. For me, the Prosecco added plenty of sweetness and I didn’t want to drown out the herbal flavors of the gin or the bitterness of the Amaro. If you like a sweet touch, go for it though. Amaro’s (Amari) range in bitterness and sweetness and I chose to use one on the more bitter-side and that has a stronger anise flavor.
