Missing something?
- No Bourbon? Use Jim Beam Bourbon (Jim Beam is a bourbon)
- No Bourbon? Use Jack Daniels (Tennessee whiskey is made much like bourbon)
- No Aperol? Use Campari (More bitter, so use a bit less)
- No Amaro Nonino? Use Cynar (Earthier)
- No Amaro Nonino? Use Averna (Darker, with more cola and liquorice)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lemon (Squeeze fresh: 1 lemon gives about 30 ml)
- No Lemon Juice? Use Lime Juice (Sharper, different aroma)
