1/2 oz Cardamaro
1/2 oz Punt e Mes
1/4 oz Maraschino Liqueur (Luxardo)
2 dash Absinthe (1/2 bsp (1/16th oz) Butterfly)
Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail coupe, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Saturdays ago, I spotted the bottle of Cardamaro on the shelf at home, and I was inspired to create this Genever Manhattan riff based off of what would work well with that amaro. I went with Genever after having good success pairing it with Cardamaro in the Wooden Shoe; I was first exposed to that combination in 2012 at Portland Cocktail Week with the Deck Hand and the Walking Spanish. Cardamaro worked well with Punt e Mes in Father's Advice and other drinks, and the Maraschino and absinthe might have derived from my love of the Improved Gin Cocktail. For a name, I dubbed this one after a Richard Hell and the Voidoids song after thinking about how I was swapping around ingredients.
