This smooth sipper from Adam Bernbach of Proof in Washington, DC has undertones of cherry and anise. Plymouth gin works really well in this cocktail: it's lighter and a touch sweeter than London dry and won't overpower the Barolo Chinato.

Note: Barolo Chinato is a type of fortified wine-based digestif. The Cocchi brand is available at wine shops and online from klwines.com and drinkupny.com.
