Blood orange doesn't add the necessary tartness. I'd sub in lime juice for half the blood orange juice.

I've seen Fernet Vallet rather than Branca called for elsewhere (also mentioned under 'History' for your Succulent Blood cocktail), would that happen to be the original recipe? Have you found that you prefer Branca in this cocktail?

Indeed, the original recipe calls for Fernet Vallet. I've added a note above and links to and from my Succulent Blood cocktail. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
