Toby Maloney's ode to the donkey with the blues is one of my favorite drinks. Pleasantly bitter, just like it's namesake, with Cynar tying in the thistles he loves (
as long as they're not broken). The recipe I had when I first tried this called for 2 oz Campari and no gin but all of the more recent versions I've seen are as below. It's tasty either way in my opinion.
1 1/2 oz Campari
1 oz Martini Bianco vermouth (
the recipe calls for Dolin but that's not available where I live)
1/2 oz Tanqueray gin
1/2 oz Cynar
1/4 oz Fernet Branca
15 drops orange bitters (
I used Twisted & Bitter)
Stir with ice, strain into glass, twist 3 pieces orange peel over glass.
