yeah, I'd check. Haphazard overlapping placement yet otherwise empty wall? There's at least some contraband back there.

I actually ordered a negroni the other day because of you. I had never had one before and figured "hey if the guy from ILX likes them..."

it's all about that Campari. it's one of the most essential ingredients in a well made negroni

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.

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.

It's hugely popular in Argentina with Coke. I bought a bottle two years ago and haven't finished it.

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).
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 19 March 2023 15:41 (one year ago) link
how i miss those bygone nights of wild driving in the backroads, mixtape at full blast and the windows down, gently nibbling at a fernet

did rufus, in his first year, live in molson or mcconnell or . . . the other one?
― mookieproof, Monday, 25 December 2023 00:37 (five months ago) link
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.
