Justin Elliott of Austin's The Townsend created this spicy variation on the Negroni using equal parts sweet vermouth, Cointreau, and Angostura bitters. That's right: It's a lot of Angostura bitters. The drink is rich, cuttingly bitter, and pleasantly cinnamon-y. I like to soften it just a touch by adding extra sweet vermouth, as called for below.
