Averno is a dark, ruby-hued coupe cocktail that balances sweet blackcurrant from crème de cassis with the herbal, bittersweet edge of Punt e Mes and sweet vermouth, all anchored by a clean vodka backbone. It tastes fruity and slightly bitter with bright citrus oil on the nose from the orange rind, making it an approachable yet intriguing after-dinner sipper. Worth trying if you like spirit-forward, slightly sweet cocktails with layered herbal complexity.
