This cocktail's hue befits its name and character, as its best enjoyed as an aperitivo during the golden hour

Luxardo Bitter Bianco didn't make a mark in this. Cocchi Americano, Campari, and Maker's Mark 46 was quite nice though. Less of a Campari-driven flavor profile compared to using the Luxardo. Kind of a bitter creamsicle vibe.

Unusual, and somehow this leaves a taste of kiwifruit (perhaps banana) to me. Used JD BinB, Luxardo Aperitivo & Lillet.

Kind of a different take but this was most interesting with Cocchi Americano for the aromatized wine. Like Mr. Rosemont says ... an odd combination, but it works...

Delicious and balanced without the grapefruit garnish.

Would grapefruit bitters work in place of the grapefruit garnish? And if so, how much to add?

Grapefruit bitters will add more bitterness and less zesty notes but worth trying. Quantity depends on your brand of bitters. If strong, like Bob’s Bitters, 4 to 6 drops should suffice.
