Review

Intensely flavoured and bittersweet with rich floral elderflower struggling for attention against assertive citrus and amaro. Originally served straight-up in a sour or coupe glass but better on-the-rocks.

great recipe,well balanced

Apparent sour...apparently agreeable!
I use Luxardo Aperitivo and St. Germain- this is also a household favourite.

This has rapidly become a favourite of my wife’s. Bitter Aperol, floral sweet St Germain and sour lime, combines to an aromatic grapefruit sensation.

I’m intending to experiment with other lime, Aperol and liqueur combos.

A family favorite. I teach this drink to bartenders around the world.

This was surprisingly balanced. Worth a try.
