Nice variation to Campari and orange

By necessity (not trying to be fancy or anything) replaced the vodka with Old Tom Gin (Hayman's), the OJ with the same amount of additional pineapple juice, and added 1/4 shot of egg white for a nice foam head. Delicious. Clearly, not the same cocktail, and probably can't be considered a variation (what is the rule on that anyway?), but too good to let pass into merciless obscurity. I couldn't find a match in the DB. Does it need a name? --DB

Not a favorite. Personally did not love the combo of Campari with these juices.

The orange and pineapple juices smooth out the bitterness of (in my case) the Martini Bitter. Not too boozy either. A nice cocktail.
