If you’re ok with bitter flavors, I’m a big fan of the Negroni.

I prefer mine straight up so it doesn’t dilute too much.

I prefer its big sibling the Boulevardier.

1.5 parts bourbon or rye
1 part campari
1 part sweet vermouth. I prefer Carpano Antica

Express an orange peel over and garnish with it

But if I have good rye I’m making a Manhattan so there’s a booze cherry as “dessert”.

Agreed. I also prefer rye for my Old Fashioned cocktails, but I don't really like rye on its own.

I'm normally a fan of bitter and other really strong flavors, but personally most negronis are just too much for me, lengthen it out with some prosecco to make it sbagliato though and it's a damn tasty drink.

I love Negroni. It needs to be on the rocks tho. If you do it properly, it needs to be cold. Also in terms of quantity, no ice means a ton more alcohol, I prefer to drink 3 properly made if the goal is to get drunk.
