The Slope is bold, bitter-sweet, and richly spiced, with rye’s warm, peppery backbone anchored by the herbal, slightly bitter depth of Punt e Mes. Apricot liqueur adds a subtle stone-fruit sweetness, while Angostura bitters layer in aromatic spice that ties the flavors together. It drinks like a refined, ruby-hued Manhattan variant — complex, balanced, and elegantly boozy.
