I have a couple of variations, shamelessly stolen from Reddit when Sother did an AMA. As many amari as I own, I'm still missing a few...but I just found where they are in stock, and will plan to pick them up over the weekend.
This seems to be the most faithful
The AyA spec is .25 oz each:
Amaro Dell'Erborista
Vecchio del Capo
Averna
Ramazotti
Aperol
Montenegro
Cynar
Amer Nouvelle
Dash orange citrate
2 dashes Peychauds
Stirred, Chartreuse rinse, lemon twist.
Second option:
Aperol Meletti Lazzaroni Ramazzotti Campari Sibilla CioCiaro Averna
¼ oz of each, plus 4 dashes of Peychaud’s bitters, 1 dash bittermans orange citrate bitters, Green Chartreuse rinse
I'll let you know how it goes.
If you're a fan of Tiki (and how can you not be?), the Tradewinds is my current favorite
I like this recipe, and I like to top up the glass with some soda water, ideally Topo Chico.
TRADEWINDS RECIPE
- 1 oz. (30 ml) Kōloa Kaua’i Dark Rum
- 1 oz. (30 ml) Don Q Gold Rum
- 1 oz. (30 ml) Giffard Abricot du Roussillon
- 1 oz. (30 ml) cream of coconut (recipe: https://youtu.be/vGBMrJgjZB4)
- 1 oz. (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
- Grated nutmeg, pineapple fronds, and cocktail umbrella for garnish
Does the above offend? If you have paid to be here, you can click here to put it in context.

Using Topo in Americanos, Gin Fizzes, etc was probably the best tip I picked up from his channel. Good stuff!
I Just made a Toronto and it's really hitting the spot right now:
2oz Rye (I used OF 100 proof rye)
1/4oz simple syrup
1/4oz Fernet Branca
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
Stirred w/ ice and served up with an orange peel.
