Like the Pippin No. 1, don't let modern bartending convention misguide you into stirring this delightful bittersweet aperitivo, please "shake it to wake...

Like a Negroni with a hit of maraschino - excellent! Amazing how just a bit of maraschino can impact a cocktail.

Used lilet rouge in lieu of dubbonet. Fine enough. Wonder if Dubonnet would make a difference.

The Dubonnet contributes wonderfully fruity and wine characters, with light herbal fortification. Not sure re Lillet rouge by comparison.

Revisiting, with Select. Such a lovely cocktail. Wonderfully not too boozy, but very rich.

Nice with the maraschino liqueur that gives a twist!

Revisiting and this time actually shaking as suggested and with the exact ingredients. Even better! Fabulous cocktail. Love the interplay of the Campari, Luxardo and Dubonnet.

That Mr Clapham really has a way with cocktails!

Brilliant flavours. Fruity, floral, herbal and bittersweet. Exceptional. The gin shines through the winey and sweet depths of the other ingredients.
I misread and initially stirred, which I think I actually preferred. Lacking Dubonnet I substituted half-half Lillet blanc and rouge vermouth, which I think worked reasonably well.

Delicious as written but I've been doing a bit of a thing lately where I try substituting Averna for red bitter liqueurs and, side-by-side with a Campari version, I think I actually prefer the Averna!

Flavoursome and rich when stirred. The addition of 25ml/ half a bar spoon of marasca syrup takes a little of the dryness out, and makes it work as an after-dinner drink. Garnish with a cherry.
