I wonder what kind of Madiera? So frustrating when recipes call for Sherry or (less commonly) Madiera without specifying the types, which can vary wildly in sweetness and flavor.

the style of madeira that most commonly has an orangey character is a bual if the drinks goal was to have only comparative fruit elements...

Bual would make sense sweetness-wise as well.

I just did a drink similar to some of the variants above. Knob Creek, Campari, and Noilly Prat sweet at a 2:1:1 ratio. No garnish as I don't have a lemon handy. It is extremely good and would be even better with the spicy and earthy notes of a good rye whiskey. It does retain a lot of the Campari flavor notes while moderating the bitterness. Yum!
