there are many Amaro liqueurs in addition to Campari
is it the most bitter? (the bitterness being an essential component of a Negroni). maybe it is
the others include Cynar, Nonino, Fernet-Branca, Gran Classico, Jägermeister (if you grew up in the 70s that's a big lol) and many more

Averna + bourbon/rye makes for a good Manhattan.
― the very juice and sperm of kindness. (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 19 March 2023 00:08 (one year ago) link
sounds good!
Campari has a distinct flavor of orange which I guess is definitive of a Negroni
I still want to see what a Bloody Mary tastes like with Aquavit, a spirit I've never tried
― Dan S, Sunday, 19 March 2023 00:12 (one year ago) link
There is a subfamily of amari called fernet (not French, so it's "fer-NET") that blows Campari out of the water, bitterness-wise. Fernet Branca is the easiest to find. It can be tough going -- usually shows up in cocktails in 1/4 ounce as a spine-stiffener.

i used to go to a place where fernet would often show up as an aperitif. for some reason i would always say "mmmhm - that's the stuff" after tasting it
― it's a new day in the international landscape (z_tbd), Sunday, 19 March 2023 15:33 (one year ago) link
Fernet is one of those licorice/medicinal/anise-esque herbal spirits that I just slot along with absinthe adjacent stuff like pernod, pastis, herbsaint, et al., imo basically a more complex, refined Jägermeister. I don't find anything particularly pleasant about it as a sipper, save that it almost compels you to take your time if you don't want to barf. (See also: straight chartreuse and the like).

Why did you reveal your secret identity here
― poppers fueled buttsex crescendo (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 22 December 2023 01:06 (five months ago) link
*looks toward the moon*
it's best to have 7-10 secret identities
― z_tbd, Friday, 22 December 2023 01:14 (five months ago) link
but actually the real answer - not sure if you were asking about this indirectly or if it's just what i'm thinking about, but that's the advantage of an obscure question - is that i have always thought of myself as several different identities, or ways to go about things. work, family, church, art. they all held or hold different weights in my life, over time, and i thought of them as different things. but in revealing a secret identity i do seek to just be a little bit more real, although in an obscure way

I am quite convinced that my brain, like other human brains, contains multiple layers of subconscious behavior, which influence my thoughts and actions in ways that are nearly invisible to my consciousness. It often requires some post-event reflection and a bit of 'reverse-engineering' to figure out what the hell happened when these influences intermittently take control of my decision making.

in his first year he was home on a computer due to the pandemic. he tried to go there and live in temporary housing in a hotel that they had set up for students but there was no point because he could never leave his room or see anybody so he came back home. it was sad. when he went back he lived in an apartment with other people. so he never lived in a dorm. he has a sweet scholarship and McGill pays for his housing. i think he's moving into his 4th different apartment with other people in january.
