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.

Bright and boozy! I’d drink this at brunch or after dinner and be happy!

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.
