Tart, dry and lightly bitter, but with just enough underlying sweetness to stroke the palate and make another sip so very desirable – a complex, bittersweet...1st August 2021 at 20:30
Decent blend, but before shaking, scanned the recipe and immediately thought of the Ruby (TAG). This expresses as a more punchy, jagged proto-rendering of that Ruby, with me left thirsty for the evolved creation.

I made this with Big Gin, st. Germain, and knight gabriello rosso Amaro. The description is right on - it’s very drinkable.

Would be best over ice or with some seltzer to help break it up.

Great colour and aperitif. Good balance with just a hint of the bitterness. Not sweet.

An excellent cocktail and properly balanced bittersweet. As noted by others the lively color is exciting as the drink dances in the mouth long after the first sip.

Outstanding! The bitterness from the Campari and grapefruit is well balanced by the sweetness of the St-Germain. (Prepared with the current 1/2 oz Elderflower recipe.)
Plus the color combination of pink grapefruit and Campari can’t be beat (see also the Parma Negroni).

Contrary to previous posts, I would trim a bit from the elderflower and ebb the sweetness. Very delicious cocktail. Definitely adding this to my favorites.
