red carpet

1 1/2oz rye
3/4oz Amaro
1/2oz Aperol

Kit found this in the end-of-night log they keep at the Standard: it's where new drinks that seem interesting end up, and sometimes migrate onto the actual print menu. Nicely spicy, but the Aperol gives a sweetness that stands up to the herbals in a way you wouldn't expect from a wussy 22 proof liqueur. Good followup to my previous drink.
