Eeyore’s Requiem is a great cocktail for an upcoming summer season. Especially if your preference is stronger, more booze forward cocktails, rather than traditional tall summer drinks.

Primary taste profile of the cocktail can be described in one word – bitter. Not surprising, since it features three different types of amari among its ingredients. Campari is the most prominent of the three, providing sweet orange and cherry notes, supported by the aromas of blanc vermouth. London dry gin brings notes of juniper and some light dryness on the back of the palate, for what otherwise would be a bit too sweet cocktail. A touch of Cynar and Fernet-Branca add a lot of complexity and herbaceousness to the mix, finished by a couple of dashes of orange bitters and orange-peel oils.

Eeyore’s Requiem is an amazing cocktail, combining many of the greatest Italian amari into a single delicious cocktail. Perfect choice for any cocktail lover.
