Came off too flat and sweet, I could see acid adjusted orange juice working here but I didn't have any. I swapped out the Aperol for Campari and the OJ for lemon juice. Dryer, while still being brighter.
Hoo boy. I misread the recipe and accident used maraschino liqueur instead of Amaro Montenegro. Plus I used acid-adjusted OJ and let me tell you it really works! (Plus volumes to 45, 22.5 and 45ml to fill the glass.)
Jackson Cannon for Island Creek Oyster House in Boston, MA created this drink. His other cocktails are exceptional but he is perhaps most famous for his extremely simple (and superior than the sum of its parts), Sophisticated Lady mocktail.
I've mixed it in an iced-filled old fashioned glass, and topped it with sparkling water. Delicious and tones down the sweetness while keeping all the flavour.
Light and refreshing. I too upped the quantities and served in a coupe. Yes, it is sweet, but for me the natural sweetness of an orange rather than candy-sweet. My wife found it slightly too sweet, fixed by adding a splash of Prosecco.
New favourite! I think I am just obsessed with Montenegro but the combination of sweet orange, monte and aperol makes a pretty perfect aperitivo. The aperol doesn't dominate like it can, allowing the endless flavours of the monte dance around in your mouth. brilliant!
