Given my handle, when I saw a recipe online for something called Eeyore's Requiem, I had to mix it up right away. It wasn't bad but I thought I could improve it. It was heavy on Campari and I wanted to use more Cynar. After some experimentation, The Pessimist's Requiem was born. It balances the bitterness of amaro with the fruit of lime and orange, without tilting over into sweetness.
