Cooking Notes
Followed the recipe as written, living in Belgium I got curious on this use of our traditional white beer. To be honest, a witbier tastes much better cold and by itself, the mixture of aromas and palates in this drink is too ecclectic and not harmonious, first and last time trying this one.
Made with Campari instead of Amaro. Refreshing.

I absolutely agree with you. At most, add a slice of clementine to your glass of beer. As far as this cocktail goes, the Nino amarro is very strong and herby and overpowering.
