Great flavour profile! Having made this with freezer cold ice, I thought it could profit from some more dilution.

It's like a strange, orange creamsicle riff on an Old Fashioned, and I love it. I feel like it shouldn't work - the Aperol and Galliano should throw everything off - but yet it does. I wonder how it would taste if you doubled the lemon and served it as a sour... honestly, a really fun and interesting cocktail that's worth trying out.

Made this with Campari, strongest flavor and least sweet of the orangey aperitifs. And I had no Grand Marnier, so I used Bols Triple Sec. I let in a bit of the lemon pulp, and, serving this in a steep martini glass, I achieved a snowy accent on the bottom, resting beneath gorgeous red blush of the cocktail. Very alcoholic, but the Galliano fully mitigates any acidity of the other ingredients, so the result is a powerfully orange flavored, very smooth and not-at-all cloying drink. Superb.

Not as balanced as I hoped. Seemed like it should work, but was a tad bitter in the end. Surprisingly so.

Agreed, Eva and thanks Herbert. I've swapped bitter liqueurs and re-balanced all.

I find Campari atomically bitter, so I almost always substitute it with Aperol. Try that, and increase the Grand Marnier a little bit. For me, the result is delightful.
