    Recently, I picked up a bottle of Amaro Ramazzotti. A quick check on CocktailDB turned up zero cocktail recipes using it. I then sampled some on the rocks, and started thinking about what might fit its smokey orange profile. Here's what I came up with:

      1-1/2 oz. rye whiskey (Rittenhouse Bonded is what I used)
      1/2 oz. Amaro Ramazzotti
      1/2 oz. sweet vermouth (I used Vya red)
      1/4 oz. maraschino liqueur (I used Luxardo)


    This turned out to be spot-on; I later tried using a bit more Ramazzotti, but it dominated the drink, so go with 1/2 oz. Also, maraschino is also a rather potent flavoring ingredient, which is why I went with 1/4 oz. in the first place.

    Variations:
    Switch the Rittenhouse for Old Grand-Dad Bonded to make it a bit sweeter.
    For a smokier drink, try it with Johnnie Walker Black.
    Oh, no! You have walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue!
