Mr Simon
Your choice of genever and orange curaçao greatly effects the balance of this cocktail. Salvatore uses Rutte Old Simon which is not only a fantastic genever...

This one definitely improved with resting in the glass to allow a little more warmth and air to open the flavours. Very much in the historical modus for cocktails, plenty of flavour here. The Campari is almost too much for the delicate Old Simon botanicals.

I just made one and watching the video after, looks like he strains this into a coupe with a block of ice. I'm not sure the drink requires it but who am I to question Salvatore?

I'm not a fan of chunks of ice in a coupe. For me best either served on-the-rocks or straight-up. Hence, I took the liberty of tweaking Salvatore's serve.
