For whiskey lovers, or even those who are new to it, this is a great light and fizzy take on a whiskey cocktail. The warmly spiced and slightly bitter flavor of the Amaro (in this cocktail I use one of my favorites, St. Agrestis) makes it taste really great, and the added benefits of Amaro's digestive properties make it a great drink to wind down with.
