With equal parts Drano, then poured down the sink.

Surely there's a better recipe? I hope... it _is_ pretty unsavory. ...Jim Thompson

The Italians drink it with soda water. Personally I don't like such bitter cordials, and ketchup doesn't help.

Jim;

add the draino and have a glass of it. You'll do us a favor!

Compari? Great appetizer! Come on. Do olives really taste that good, etiher? The trick is that the 'bitters' aid digestion. Imbibe small amount before a meal, you can eat tons of pasta. Tis true that it tastes better 'cut' with something like Pelegrino.

Used to travel a lot throughout Italy, loved their habit of half and half wine and pelegrino with your meal Else get a bit tittally.

Also the sound of the word, Compari, sounds EXACTLY like the word in Chinese for 'CHEERS' [closest I can get phonetically, com-PIE-ee] Marco Polo brought a LOT back, eh?

Maybe that's the trick. I'll have to try that 1/2 and 1/2 trick. ...Jim Thompson

Again, don't taste it. Rather 'feel' it.

Heartburn or a royal cleaning may not be the feeling he's looking for!

Never tasted it myself, but I've noticed that in novels (old mystery/detective stories set in Italy) it is quite common for characters to just order it straight. In fact, I had the impression that it must be something mild.

No accounting for taste!

I always drank it, straight also, it is an acquired taste, ...which I never acquired. Over the rocks, or cold, made it more bitter, [if that was even possible] so didn't like that at all. However the effect on digestion is incredible. It's kind of the reverse of Ezekiel and the scrolls.

they're not a friend.

like somebody else said, with draino and then poured down the drain.

It probably cleans out clogs better than straight Drano.

That may be a suitable recipe, but it's the wrong application for Jim to use.
