Actually very well balanced, although I'd prefer a little more gin (gin lover Campari hater here).

I just love this as a template to showcase different spirit-liqueur-bitters combinations using essentially the same ratios. Two favourites so far are the Eel Bar marianito already in Difford's Guide (rhum, curacao, ango) and a 'Californian' marianito (mezcal, aloe liqueur, orange bitters).
