Had to improvise witb excellent! results. Can't find that Amer Picon so I used Bigallet China-China Amer and for the vermouth, 15ml Cocchi Dopo Teatro Vermouth Amaro and 7.5ml Dolin Dry. Definitely making this again.

Lovely recipe- like a bitter Martinez. For my red Italian apertivo I have St.George Bruto Americano on hand, which is more bitter than Campari or Aperol. Therefore, I used 1/2oz in this recipe and it was still pleasantly bitter. Also Hay man’s Old Tom is my favorite mixing Gin, works beautifully here

Oh Cecilie! Do you really like it this sweet? I guess Carl would know. I cut the vermouth and Aperol back to 1/2 oz each and upped the gin to 2 oz and it was plenty sweet. Used Golden Moon's Amer Dit Picon since that's what I can get on this side of the Pond. Added a dash of Angostura orange bitters to complement the Picon. No grapefruit so used lemon zest. Very nice!
