Loved the cocktail. Used a Mandarine flavoured Vodka. Made it to the recipe and it was great. Did find it just a tad sweet. After tasting, we added a dash of orange bitters. It slightly intensified the bitter flavour and lessened the sweetness. Perfect for an aperitif or afternoon sipper.

To your point (with which I agree), Anon, I found this to be a step in the right direction: 50 ml orange vodka, 20 ml triple sec (Giffard's), 10 ml Campari, 30 ml orange juice (navel).

Agreed, less triple sec. But rather than increase the Campari I've reduced the orange juice in the recipe above.

Too sweet for my taste. I think will be better to use more Campari and less triple sec
