Very good, despite the slightly unhinged amount of maraschino liqueur.

John Carr's recommended modifications (as always) produce something I would think more balanced and generally favorable, but I find myself enjoying the equal parts version as well.

Best not to use a weak or middle-shelf gin, if going for the equal-parts version though.

Well this was a little treat, something very Italian about it. Felt like I should have just got out of a little 2 seater wearing a cravat. Read all the other comments and decided to add 5ml to each of the gin and Bianco and 10ml less maraschino. Absolutely lovely.

Do this. Needs more thumbs up.

40 Edinburgh Gin, 30 americano,15 Luxardo, 8 drops BT grapefruit bitters and I thought this was excellent. Very moreish and delicious; in the style on a white negroni.

Too sweet

John Hinojos Premium Member 2y

Liked this, but found it just a bit too sweet for us. Added 1/2 oz more gin and the balance was still there, but the sweetness was diminished.

Calvin Grant Premium Member 2y

A bit too sweet might be putting it mildly but it's such wonderful combination of flavors! I'll be making this again plus the additional gin.

John CARR Premium Member 14w

The flavour combination really is excellent! I think halve the Luxardo and she’ll be right (as Australian tradesmen say). I also tried 50 gin, 20 Luxardo, but preferred 40, 30, 15.

I replaced Americano Bianco with Lillet as I didn't have a bottle at hand, and the result was great. A very maraschino forward drink, but well balanced, in which cherry and grapefruit shine. So simple that it should have been a 100 years old recipe.
